Hundreds of thousands of people are making the same error when applying for a passport that is costing them £9.50 each - according to Money Saving Expert.
As 4.5million people are predicted to apply for a new or renewed passport in the next few weeks the experts are urging people to save themselves some vital money in the process.
MSE says that while almost 4million people applied for a passport online in 2021, figures released by the Passport Office under the Freedom of Information Act show 674,454 applications were made by post.
