Passport Fee

does anyone know if has anyone heard if the fee for getting a new Passport is going up in the new year. Right now its $87. My Mom heard its going up $200 or up to $200?? can't find any info on this. My MIL needs a PP for next year if the price is going up.. we'd like to find out exactly when if we can wait to get hers done, we will. if its sooner rather than later were going to get her in next week. as long as she has applied for it before the new year were good. she doesnt' need it until next summer.

bumping for the evening crowd in case anyone even someone not local sees this and knows ;)

I did a google search and the only info about a passport that high in price is for the electronic passport. Not the regular one.

Someone else would probably know better, but an increase of over double seems unlikely.

thats what i thought.. but wasn't sure. i think i might call the PP office tomorrow find out for sure.. if it does. we need to get busy fast.. if not no rush then.

would you let us know, I have to renew next year and would hate to pay that kind of money. Well I guess not renew, reapply since I have to change my last name....shoulda kept my maiden name LOL

I thought they were going to make a ten year passport available for the $200, but not sure when this is starting.

yes please let us know if its going up!

LOL I will.

i decided to look into this since my boyfriend needs a new passport to be able to use the birthday gift I am giving him monday :)

from what i can tell, no fee changes, at least not listed anywhere on the passport canada site (unless I am blind)

however, the passport office is moving to cherryhill mall as of january 30, to better serve us.

OOOhhhh nice and close to me I like it. Thanks Matchstix!

yep from what i understand only the electronic version is going up.. thats it.

I heard:
5 year will be $100.
10 year will be $160.

But not 100% sure.
