For a routine adult U.S. passport renewal in 2026, you’ll typically pay 130 USD for the passport book, with optional extras if you want faster processing or additional documents.

Quick Scoop

Core cost to renew

  • Adult passport book renewal (by mail or eligible online) : 130 USD.
  • Adult passport card add-on (wallet-sized, for land/sea travel to Canada, Mexico, Caribbean): 30 USD.
  • Adult book + card together : 160 USD total for the government fees.

So if you just want to renew your standard passport book and are fine with normal timing, budget 130 USD.

If you’re in a hurry

  • Expedited processing fee : add 60 USD to the 130 USD book fee → 190 USD total for a rushed renewal (book only).
  • Fast 1–2 day return delivery : add about 22.05 USD on top, making a fully rushed book renewal roughly 212.05 USD.
  • For many online renewals , the fee is still 130 USD for the book and 30 USD for the card; online systems usually do not allow expedited processing, though you can often pay extra for quicker return delivery.

Example scenarios

  • “I’m renewing by mail, not in a rush, book only.”
    • You pay 130 USD.
  • “My trip is soon, I need it fast, book only, plus quick shipping.”
    • 130 USD (book) + 60 USD (expedite) + ~22.05 USD (1–2 day return) ≈ 212.05 USD total.
  • “I want both book and card, regular speed.”
    • 160 USD total government fee.

Mini notes & “gotchas”

  • These prices are for renewals , not first-time passports; first-timers usually pay an extra 35 USD execution/acceptance fee on top of the application fee.
  • Fees can change, so if your trip is months away, double-check the official U.S. State Department site close to when you apply for the most current numbers.
