What are the official UK fees right now?
These are not our charges. They are the figures we cite in guides, each with a primary source and a capture date. Amounts change when a statutory instrument or GOV.UK page is updated — use the Checked column, not the date you fetched this page. Re-read the source before you pay a register office or the FCDO today.
Enrolment is £53.05, an adult online passport is £102, a CNI notice is £46.50 from 6 April 2026, witnessing is £5, and a DVLA name change is free. Full rows with URLs are in the table and in official-fees.csv.
