PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Passports: EU Countries (22 July 2020)

Question Asked

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if she will waive fees for renewing a passport for people who travel often for work when the new rules on the passport expiry date come info force for travel to the EU after the transition period.

Asked by:
Apsana Begum (Independent)

Answer

There are no plans to waive any passport fees after the transition period.

Fees are charged to cover the full cost of providing the service, granting fee waivers means other customers would have to pay more to subsidise those waivers. All passport customers need to check they have appropriate validity for travel to the EU or anywhere else in the world. Guidance is available on Gov.UK
