The price changes were announced following a similar increase in UK Passport fees.

The new prices will mean a standard adult passport will cost £100, with a child’s cheaper at £69.

It will cost £166.50 to fast track an adult’s passport, and £135.50 to fast track a child’s.

There is currently a seven week wait for passports to be processed while a fast track can be done within eight working days.

A spokesperson for Home Affairs, which is responsible for passports, immigration, and citizenship, said that a recent influx of passport applications means they are taking almost two months to process.

The Guernsey Border Agency is therefore asking people needing to renew their passport to allow ample time for it to be done.
