Some American citizens will see a fee increase the next time they apply for their American passports.
The change will go into effect worldwide on April 2, 2018.
The “passport execution” fee will increase US$10, from US$25 to the new fee of US$35.
“The new US$35 fee is applicable to all first-time passport applicants and certain other applicants who must apply in person, such as minors under the age of 16. American citizens who apply for a passport renewal by mail will not see a fee increase,” the Georgetown embassy said in a statement.
The embassy also said that there are no other changes to fees for consular services at this time. “Further information is available at the Embassy’s website, http://gy.usembassy.gov/, and on the Bureau of Consular Affairs website, travel.state.gov. To make an appointment to renew their passport in Georgetown, American citizens should contact the Consular Section via the Embassy’s website http://gy.usembassy.gov/.”
