Thinking of renewing your US passport? Keep in mind that as of April 2, 2018 the price of this document increased, but we will tell you how you can save $ 35 when requesting it.

As revealed by the State Department, the value of the Payment for execution stopped being $ 25 and rose to $ 35, that is to say that the processing of the passport increased by $ 10 with respect to the price of 2017. This would translate to the total value of the passport for children under 16 it would be $ 115 and for adults the amount would be $ 145.

The state entity ensures that the money collected by the Execution Payment is destined to cover expenses related to the expenses of the consular service that the United States government provides to its citizens around the world.

Despite this increase in the value of the document, there is a way that those interested in endorsing their passport can save a few dollars if they do the process through the mail and not in person.

A report from Money magazine's online site revealed the vast majority of people prefer the postal service offices for this errand, what many don't know is that when you apply for a passport by mail you can save the $ 35 cancellation for the so-called Execution payment.

The publication adds that the procedure is very simple. You just need to fill out the DS-82 form and have the rest of documents: current passport, photos and the $ 110 that the application costs (it can be a personal check or a money order). These must be sent to the appropriate National Passport Processing Center through the mail service.
