US Passport Book (Adult)
Passport fees are set federally. Rush service is the only variable — expedited processing costs $60 extra.
Use this page as a benchmark, not as a guaranteed quote or eligibility promise. The price, rate, fee, coverage, or feature set can change with location, customer profile, promotional timing, scope, and provider terms. Compare the current source disclosure before you buy or sign.
FairPrice Guru keeps the benchmark separate from the provider's marketing. A higher price is not automatically unfair when it buys more coverage or a better scope, and a lower headline price is not automatically better when fees, restrictions, or missing features change the real cost.
