Passport fees

[Groundpounder]

I went to go apply for a passport at my local town hall, and on top of the fee I need to pay the State Department, they want $30. Is that normal, or are they trying to make a buck?

I got one at the Post Office and it was like 60 + 30, not sure what is for what but came out to right around 90.

I got my British one renewed last year by mailing it to the Embassy in D.C. - that was about $100 and it was FedEx back in 3 days. That was an usually quick and painless.

Yeap, thats correct. Like Aviatrix said the post office charges $60, and the government fee is $30.

This was within the last 60 days as well.

The post office isn't the "government"?

The Post Office is "Government" but the real Government is "Da Man"
