These are State Department application fees. They are not a complete trip-document budget.

Additional sourced observations are listed below and are not blended into this headline.

How to use this figure

Use this page to add the State Department passport lines you actually need: first book, renewal book, card, and the expedite fee only if you select it.

  1. Pick the product. A first adult book is the $130 application plus the $35 acceptance fee.
  2. A renewal book that does not use the acceptance facility stays at the renewal amount.
  3. Add the $60 expedite fee only when that service is requested.

What the result means

A first adult book plus expedite is $165 + $60 = $225. Photos, shipping, and a file search are extra and are not silently included.

A comparison that stays on this source

Global Entry is a CBP membership fee. It is not part of the passport total.

If the number looks wrong

  • Child applications are not auto-priced.
  • An acceptance facility may have its own payment mechanics. Only the official $35 execution fee is in the first-book total.

This is not a complete trip-document budget.

Record last verified 2026-09-06. That date is the record’s verification stamp, not a claim that a market price is unchanged today.

Official fee: line items come from a published schedule. Optional adders appear only when that schedule names them.

High evidence confidence

High evidence confidence is an internal CostMage evidence-quality score (80 of 100). It describes source strength and extract completeness, not the probability that a quoted figure matches your bill.

Labels: 75–100 high, 60–74 moderate, below 60 limited. The number is not a probability that the cost is correct.

    Adult DS-11 book $130 + $35 acceptance. Renewal book $130. Expedite $60.

What changes the cost

  • First-time vs renewal
  • Book vs card
  • Expedite

Methodology

The estimator uses only fees printed on travel.state.gov. Lost or stolen books use the first-time DS-11 path.

Limitations

  • Facility payment methods vary.
  • File-search and photo fees are not included unless listed on the official table.

Questions

I lost my passport. Is renewal $130?

No. Lost, stolen, or damaged adult passports use Form DS-11, so the book is $130 plus the $35 acceptance fee.

What does the $35 acceptance fee pay for?

State Department lists it as the execution/acceptance fee for Form DS-11, collected at the acceptance facility. Renewal books that do not use DS-11 do not add it.

Does expedite include overnight shipping?

The estimator adds only the official $60 expedite fee. Shipping or file-search amounts are not included unless listed on the official table and selected here.
