If you’re already a citizen and just renewing, expect to pay £88.50 to £193.50, depending on speed and location. If you’re becoming a citizen for the first time, you’re looking at £1,500 (naturalization) + £88.50 (passport) + about £50 in fees and photos. That’s roughly £1,638.50 for the whole ordeal. Dave’s iPhone suddenly seems cheap, doesn’t it?
But hey, think of it this way: that passport gives you access to a whole country of tea, damp weather, and the phrase “sorry” for every occasion. It’s not just a document—it’s a personality. And if you’re still reading this, you’re probably already planning your application. Go on, then. Your bank account will forgive you. Eventually.
