luvscruising2007 Posted October 4, 2008 #1 Share Posted October 4, 2008 Does anyone know what the current cost of a passport is? My son and his wife will need them for their first cruise and I wanted to let them know so that could budget the expense. Cruise isn't for almost 2 years.

Senoj84 Posted October 4, 2008 #2 Share Posted October 4, 2008 16 years old and over it's $100 and extra if you need it expedited. Under 16 it's $85. Expedited is $60 for each application.

Senoj84 Posted October 4, 2008 #3 Share Posted October 4, 2008 I edited some of the info from my earlier post but the prices are correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul929207 Posted October 4, 2008 #4 Share Posted October 4, 2008 A new passport is $100 per person. If you need to get it in a hurry, there is an extra charge for expedited service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvscruising2007 Posted October 4, 2008 Author #5 Share Posted October 4, 2008 Thanks for the replies. The price has gone up since I got mine 5 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bumbles Posted October 5, 2008 #6 Share Posted October 5, 2008 Don't forget the cost of getting the passport photos taken. I had them take photos at the post office we applied at, and they charged us $15 each (just a few weeks ago). All info about passports, including where you can apply at, is at travel.state.gov.

lalacruizin Posted October 6, 2008 #7 Share Posted October 6, 2008 Also, you can get photos taken at CVS or Walgreens so they are a little bit cheaper. However, I did this and when I took my shots to the post office they said the size was off just a little. So they had to re-take my pictures anyway. I just went back to CVS and got a refund.

Go-Bucks! Posted October 6, 2008 #8 Share Posted October 6, 2008 I'm a member of AAA and they took my pictures and charged about $8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
montekat Posted October 6, 2008 #9 Share Posted October 6, 2008 I haven't tried this but apparently it is a good way to get a passport photo at a reasonable price if you have a good picture to submit. http://epassportphoto.com/Wizard.aspx?country=US&photo=0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
