Fees for the biometric ePassport, the most secure passport ever
produced by the UK, were published today, as the Identity and

have now been issued.
The new fees will come into effect from 5 October 2006. This
completes a two-stage fee increase to allow the introduction of
the latest generation passport to international standards as well
as other anti-fraud measures such as enhanced background checks on
applicants and preparations for face-to-face interviews for
first-time adult passport applicants.
