Ours is about 300 Dhs, even with the extra surcharge because we request one at an embassy or consulate. And you get your fingerprints scanned and put into a national database accessible by everyone who thinks they have a right to it, completely free of charge, courtesy of the government

Re: passports...a real dumb blonde question...
...ok, i'm just starting to get in a panic cos my passport is up for renewal and it's only a few weeks til i travel...
anyway, i have got the form and don't know whether i give my dubai address or uk address under the "permanent address" section...i know this is the dumbest of dumb questions, but haven't got time to get it returned if i fill it out incorrectly...i just tried to call the consulate and they are closed until the morning and i want to get it sorted before then...
any ideas...?
thanks...
MM, xx

Permanent address always refers to your address in your home country. The country where you are a citizen of which should be your British Address.

at least they last for 10 years... unlike paying more than half for a childs passport which you have to renew every 5, so if they were born here, then that means you need to get 4 passports because they will be only 15....! 1 year short of getting a "proper" passport.

Re: passports...a real dumb blonde question...
and it's not like your adress has any importance, cause you don't have to renew your passport every time you move...you can have your passport done and move to the other end of the world the next day, it has no impact on your passport.
the only things mentioned in it are your nationality and your country of birth...
