New Consular Fees in Effect on July 13, 2010
Monday, July 12, 2010
The Department of State published its new Schedule of Fees for Consular Services. The schedule includes fees for passports, immigrant visas and other consular services. The changes will take effect on July 13. The revised fees will cover actual operating expenses for the 301 overseas consular posts, 23 domestic passport agencies and other centers that provide these consular services to U.S. and foreign citizens.
The adjusted fees are based on a Cost of Service Study completed by the Bureau of Consular Affairs in June 2009. The study, which was the most detailed and exhaustive ever conducted by the Department of State, established the true cost of providing these consular services, which by law must be recovered through collection of fees.
Under the new fee schedule, passport and other Consular fees are set as follows:
Passport Book – adult $135.00 **
Passport Book – minor $105.00 **
Passport Book Renewal – Adult $110.00
Additional passport visa pages $82.00
Consular Report of Birth Abroad $100.00
Renunciation of U.S. Citizenship $450.00
Notarials, Certifications of True Copies $50.00
** This includes a $25 execution fee not retained by Department of State.
