For the special day, the normal fee of $10 will be waived for all applicants, including renewals as well as new passport applications.
“Residents who don’t have a U.S. passport should consider Passport Day for applying for their passport,” said Rajoppi. “Travel plans could come up quickly, whether for business or vacation. Many countries require six months validity on a U.S. passport, so it is important to check your passport’s expiration date now and take this opportunity to renew.”
