UK Passport 10 year renewal £77.50 but advised to have it checked at the Post Office adds another £8.75.
Pay even more if you need fast tracking.
I went through border control recently and saw some using Iris Recognition.Fewer people but not sure it was any faster.Don't know the cost of that when we all have to do it.

Originally posted by jb70They were trying to force through biometric passports and ID cards a few years back but failed. I guess it's only a matter of time before they force the bill through and with it being compulsory you have to stump up. Daylight robbery.

Australian biometric passport 10 year $A233 or GBP 155
Australian driver licence 5 year around $A150 or GBP 100 (this is the median figure, the range is $A 90-207, licences issued by state governments)
I wouldn't be complaining if I was a Pom. 🙂

Originally posted by Sicilian SausageI still use my old pink EU licence, there's no foto on it to renew...you're not obliged to take a foto licence but they'll 'insist' so if you get endorsed etc ( they have no right to insist, you can demand any endorsement is contained within your old STILL legal EU licence ! ). Passports aside, why would anyone want a piece of paper that needs updating every 10 years or so, and at your own cost ??...the issuing authority, that's who, once you've got one then they've got you with these new foto update charges...
A letter came through from the DVLA. I have a choice of either renewing my photo license or surrendering it. Cost for renewal is £20. Is this the biggest con going or what?
Has anyone else in GB received this ransom demand?
