A child's passport costs Â£46. How long does it take to get a passport? It should usually take three weeks to renew a standard adult or child passport. If you need a new passport more urgently, you can pay extra to book an appointment at a Passport Customer Service Centre and get your passport on the same day for Â£128 or within a week for Â£103. However, ordering an adult passport for someone who has not had one before can take six weeks, and the fast-track service is unavailable. During busy times, including the run-up to Christmas and school holidays, waiting times can be longer.
