Up or down? You're such a tease!
The price seems to go up almost every month. It was $186 in April, $199 in May,$211 in June. and $212 in September. No wonder we can't afford to renew our passports. |

Re: British passport price change
I was going to get the kid a UK passport but now I'm not sure I'll bother. Or maybe I'll just get the passport and forget the registration.

Just give us a heads up when they become affordable again....

Re: British passport price change
Looking at things, for an adult passport it's about $100 cheaper to apply in person on a visit to the UK. Then you either have it sitting in the UK waiting for you to pick it up, somebody to bring it to you or somebody to mail it. Even if you didn't do that it's the same price to do a 1 day express service in the UK!

Re: British passport price change
My passport is due for renewal in June, when I will be in the US. Kids due for renewal following Spring. Why are UK passports so expensive? Didn't the prices just go up not so long ago?

See: http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/TravelAn...port/DG_174096 :) EDIT: If' you're going to be in the US when your Kids' passports expire it might be as well to renew theirs now too, despite the fact you'll lose 6 months or so. Saves having to worry about sorting it all on a trip back to the UK or doing it from a British Embassy in the US... |

Ever heard of this magical thing called 'the exchange rate'?
I'm going with the simpler suggestion that the consulate is screwing expats because they can. "British Consul" can you repudiate my claim and explain why these huge increases bear no relation to the FX rate? |

Yes, but I fail to see why that should be a factor, firstly the PP is produced in the US, secondly the 2009 price increases have no relation to the actual USD vs. GBP FX rate.
