Cost of passports to rise in October 

All applications received before the 20th of October will be processed at the current rates

The cost of an Isle of Man variant British passport will rise in October.

The changes will apply to all new applications, renewals and replacement passports.

The standard adult passport will rise from £85 to £93. An express passport will be £23 more at £165. Meanwhile an emergency passport will set you back £204.

The fee increase for an Isle of Man passport is necessary to align with the fees set by the passport office in the UK, and will take effect on the 20th of October.

Passport holders are advised to check the validity of their passports before travelling, and submit any applications in good time ahead of the change.

All applications received before the 20th of October will be processed at the current rates.
