PROPOSAL TO CHANGE FEES
On February 9, 2010, the Department of State proposed fee increases for American Citizen Services. The fee increase is currently in a “period for public comment” and would take effect later this year.
In particular, passport services fees will increase as follows:
Passport Renewal for adults– $75 to $110.
First-time Passport Application or Replacement of Lost/Stolen Passport from $100 to $135.
Passport for Minors: from $85 to $105
Report of Birth Abroad $65 to $100
Also, an $82 fee is proposed for adding passport pages.
You can find the complete list of proposed new fees at our website: http://merida.usconsulate.gov. (use specific site where it is located). You will be able to follow a link on that site to comment up to March 10, 2010.
You may renew your passport at any time by making an appointment with the Consulate at http://merida.usconsulate.gov/merida/passports.html.
There is a Consular Agent Office in Playa del Carmen that is an extension of the Consulate in Merida. It’s located on block south of Juarez on Calle 1 Sur between Ave 15 and 20 as I recall. There is also a Consular Agent in Cozumel.
