does anyone know how much it costs to get a u.s. passport at costco in california?

Question

I heard it was $5.00.

Answer 1

Do you mean passport photo?
Cost of an actual passport is $97 .. and it's a government fee, so it doesn't vary by state or place you get it. The most common place to get a U.S. passport are post offices that have that service available.

So I am assuming you are asking about a passport photo ....

Answer 5

The cost to obtain a passport is $97.00, part of which goes to the State Department and that amount is $67.00 and then $30.00 to the Post Office which you get them at. You will also need to obtain passport photos which can be done at any Wal-Mart which I think was around $10.25 for two photos. It will take about 6 to 8 weeks for it to be sent to you once all the necessary paperwork has been filed.

Answer 7

If you are a member of AAA in CA, you can also get a passport picture at one of their offices. It is cheaper than a photography store in the mall which takes passport pictures. As others have stated, they will take your picture at the site where you get the passport, post office or govt. bldg. Call your local post office and ask

Answer 8

I thinks getting a passport including picture. (two separate prices) Cost $100.00 all together. Though you can find cheaper places that charge less for your photo. But US passport cost same no matter where you are.
