On June 28, 2010, the Department of State published its Schedule of Fees
for Consular Services in the Federal Register. The schedule includes
fees for passports, immigrant visas and other consular services. The
changes will take effect on July 13, 15 days after publication in the
Federal Register. The revised fees will cover actual operating expenses
for the 301 overseas consular posts, 23 domestic passport agencies and
other centers that provide these consular services to U.S. and foreign
citizens.
The 27 adjusted fees are based on a Cost of Service Study completed by
the Bureau of Consular Affairs in June 2009. The study, which was the
most detailed and exhaustive ever conducted by the Department of State,
established the true cost of providing these consular services, which by
law must be recovered through collection of fees.
Under the new fee schedule, fees for passport services and other ACS
services are set as follows. For a complete listing of all consular
fees and changes, please see the Bureau of Consular Affairs' public
website <http://www.travel.state.gov/news/news_5078.html> .
