Passport costs depend on your citizenship, age, and whether you need a first passport, renewal, or expedited service, so there is no reliable single global estimate. As a concrete reference, a standard first-time U.S. adult passport book costs $165 in government fees, while an eligible adult renewal costs $130, based on the latest fee information available to me. Photos, delivery, and expedited processing can cost extra; these fees have not been verified live. Tell me which country's passport you need and where you are applying for a more relevant estimate.
