US passport execution fee increases for American citizens

Effective April 2, 2018, the passport execution fee will increase from $25 to $35. The $10 execution fee increase applies to U.S. passport applicants using the DS-11 form including: first-time applicants over age 16, children under age 16, and applicants who reapply after reporting their previous passport lost or stolen.

Customers applying with the DS-11 form at a U.S. embassy or consulate abroad pay two separate fees: an application fee to the U.S. Department of State and the execution fee to the Passport Acceptance Facility (such as a post office in the United States or a U.S. embassy or consulate abroad). Accordingly, the total passport fee for such applicants will increase by $10 in total.

The $10 fee increase does not apply to adults eligible to renew their passport using the DS-82 form. The Department of State published a Final Rule confirming this fee change on January 31, 2018.

    I never see a us passport black and i never see no passport fee that price even say in effect April 2

    • Pamela, indeed the color of the US Passport appears to be black to the eyes of many people; However in reality the color is Royal Blue.

      Now, my question is this; if ten dollars is added for any reason, why should that make the news in Dominica; What is the relevance, and concern to anybody in Dominica; unless  they are an American who lost their American passport?
