For children under 16, a first-time passport is $135 ($100 application + $35 execution). Good news: parents, you can finally save $30 per kid. Bad news: the passport only lasts 5 years instead of 10. Kids’ faces change faster than their attitudes. Why pay for a decade when they’ll grow a foot taller and lose their baby fat? It’s a weird grift from the government.
How Much Does A Passport Cost
Also, both parents must show up to apply for a minor’s passport. That’s the real cost: coordinating schedules with your ex or spouse. Priceless.
