The application fee for a standard South African passport, adult or child, is due to increase by 50% on 1 November.
Most applicants will be paying 50% more than they would for a passport application made before the end of October.
The fee for a standard, 32-page passport for adults and children will go up to R600, Motsoaledi decreed, fromSouth African passport power just jumped way up an important ranking – based on a technicality The big jump is in the price of a 48-page"maxi" passport, used by heavy travellers and particularly common among businesspeople. That document will now cost R1,200, or double the price of the standard passport. It previously carried a 50% premium, in line with its additional number of pages.
For applications at embassies or consulates outside of South Africa, the prices are doubled: R1,200 for a standard passport for an adult or child, and R2,400 for the maxi-sized passport. Applying at a home affairs office in South Africa could come at that same price too – in the case of lost or damaged documents. Under the new fee structure, as is currently the case, the cost of a passport replacement is double the standard issue fee, unless the original was"lost, stolen or damaged through no negligence on the part of the holder".
