Your opinion wanted new passport requirements effective 1/8/07

US Passports: Routine Services (Form DS-11), Non-Refundable Age 16 and older: The passport application fee is $55. The security surcharge is $12. The execution fee is $30. The total is $97. Under Age 16: The passport application fee is $40. The security surcharge is $12. The execution fee is $30. The total is $82. Those who choke on the expense of a license to roam the globe would IMHO do better to stay home and watch travel programs on TV. The price of luggage is outlandish as well, but no one complains about that. However, these things are miniscule compared to the actual expense of the trip itself. =R= |

As you point out, small change when compared to the cost of travel abroad. Geez! |

Of course it helps that the cost can be split over many trips to the bakery. |

It will hurt travel to Mexico and Canada. The passport process, for new passports, is real pain in the butt, and very expensive. I just went through it for my wife and two kids. Hours of waiting at a post office, and very expensive. The post office then tries to sell you Express Mail service at about $30 per passport extra, even though the regular priority mail still is tracked and requires a signature. I just got mine. DL the form on the 'net' filled it in and mailed it with the regular fee. Received it back in 20 days. |
