Regulation 3 Fees

Subject to paragraph (2) a fee is to be charged in respect of the exercise of each of the functions of the Secretary of State which are specified in the table in the Schedule.

No fee is to be charged for administering an application made for a 34 page passport where it is made by post or online (other than by using a premium collect service) if the applicant was born on or before 29th September 1929.

For a function specified in the table, the fee payable in a particular case is the amount specified in the final column of the table in the entry for that function, in respect of the method of application used in that particular case by a person of the applicant’s age and status.

An applicant who is 15 years of age may, within 3 weeks before their 16th birthday, pay the fee payable for a function by an applicant of 16 years of age or over (but not the fee payable by an applicant born on or before 2nd September 1929).
