Fees

?77.50 ? 3 September 2009 ? an increase which the Government said was necessary due to a falling number of passport applicants, and also to pay for enhanced passport security measures. The Conservatives and Liberal Democrats said that people were paying for the price of introducing ID cards.[29][30]
?72 ? 4 October 2007 ? due to an increase in the consular premium added by the Foreign & Commonwealth Office [31]
?66 ? 5 October 2006 ? for the introduction of the latest generation passport, anti-fraud measures and interviews for first-time applicants [32]
?51 ? 1 December 2005 ? to reflect the cost of implementing key anti-fraud measures [33]
