The US Department of State has published the official costs for obtaining a 10-year adult passport in 2026. Adult applicants aged 16 and older must pay a $130 application fee and a $35 acceptance facility fee, totaling $165.
For those requesting only a passport card, the fee is $30, while both a passport book and card cost $160, with the acceptance fee applicable in all cases. First-time adult applicants and those whose passports were lost, stolen, or damaged must apply in person at authorized facilities.
Required documents include a completed Form DS-11, evidence of US citizenship, a valid photo ID, and one passport photograph. Expedited service is available for an additional $60, reducing processing time to two to three weeks.
