The Government will increase passport and other travel document fees each year in line with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) from 1 January 2011. This measure will provide $193.6 million in revenue over four years.
From 1 January 2011, the standard adult passport application fee will increase from $208 to $226, the passport fee for children and seniors will increase from $104 to $113, the penalty fee for lost and stolen passports will increase from $69 to $100 and the fee for priority processing will increase from $78 to $100. These increases are in line with CPI movements since the last passport fee increase on 1 July 2008. Annual indexation will apply automatically on 1 January each year thereafter. The fees on other travel documents will also increase from 1 January 2011.
This measure delivers on the Government's election commitment.
