How much your passport will cost
The Identity and Passport Service (IPS) recommends the Post Office's Check & Send service. As well as the 'normal service' fee shown, you must pay a handling charge to the Post Office.

Postage and Secure Delivery
The passport fee includes sending out your new passport by Secure Delivery and returning your supporting documents by Royal Mail second-class post.
IPS can also return your supporting documents by Secure Delivery for an extra fee of £3.00.
If you want your supporting documents sent back by Secure Delivery, add £3.00 to the fees shown in the table when you make your payment.
The extra £3.00 is waived if you:
- renew your passport with a 48-page jumbo passport
- were born on or before 2 September 1929
IPS will not pay for any loss or delay that is caused by Royal Mail services.

Claiming a refund of the Premium or Fast Track fee
If you pay for the Premium or Fast Track service and your application isn't processed within the specified time, you can claim a refund. You'll be refunded the extra service fee - not the standard passport fee. However, IPS won't refund the fee if your application wasn't processed within the specified time due to circumstances beyond its reasonable control. For example, in some cases IPS may need to take extra time to look at your application. This will be to confirm details you have given and to contact your countersignatory.
You can also claim a refund if you applied for the Premium or Fast Track service fee because you:
- need to travel urgently because of the death or serious illness of a family member, friend or business associate
- are travelling abroad for medical treatment
- are seriously ill, or are the carer of a seriously ill person, and your travel has been arranged by a charitable/religious organisation
You should pay the fee in full and then claim a refund of the Premium or Fast Track service fee. IPS assesses each claim for a refund on its own merit.
Follow the link below to download a refund claim form. If you don't have a printer, you can call the Passport Adviceline on 0300 222 0000 to request a copy of the form. Please read the notes that come with the form and fill out every section. Then send it to the Customer Service Manager at the Regional Passport Office at which you made your application.
What the fee covers
IPS does not make a profit. Passport fees cover the costs of providing passport services in the UK. Part of the fee is called 'the consular premium'. This covers the costs of providing consular help to British nationals who find themselves in difficulty while overseas.
