The UK government has officially introduced new passport fees for all applications as February 2.
This means that people looking to renew their travel document will now have to pay more to travel overseas. The increase in fees comes for the first time in five years, with prices increasing for both children and adults.
People who are jetting away on their winter break soon may have avoided the hike. But many who have booked up for later in the year may be required to send away for a new, blue passport shortly.
