Tourists are being urged to renew their passports now, as they have just one week left before the application fee rises. The cost to replace your document will rise by about 9 per cent on Thursday, February 2.
These increases, which serve to improve government services, will vary across online and paper forms, affecting fees for both children and express applications.
From next week, it will cost £82.50 to replace an expired passport through an online form - a £7 increase from the current price of £75.50. Renewing your child's passport this way is to rise by £4.50 from £49 to £53.50.
