FROM tomorrow (Monday) standard fees for applications for passports will be cut.
A standard adult 10-year passport will be £5 cheaper at £72.50. A passport for a child under 16, valid for five years, will be £3 cheaper at £46.
Senior external relations officer Richard Carter said savings had been made.
He added: ‘Continuing developments will see the introduction of a new Isle of Man variant of the British passport in 2013/14. Whilst applications will be made to the Isle of Man Passport Office, in the future passports will be printed at a secure facility in the UK, alongside passports issued to British citizens living throughout the world.’
The total fee payable in respect of all other passport services, including express services, remains unchanged.
