The Government will index the fees charged for passports and other travel documents to movements in the Consumer Price Index (CPI), with effect from 1 July 2007.
Fees for passports and other travel documents will be increased annually on 1 July, in line with movements in the CPI over the four quarters ending in March each year.
As a result of this measure, on 1 July 2007 the standard adult passport fee will increase from $193 to $200, while the passport fee for children and seniors will increase from $96 to $100.
