All Americans must now have passports to fly to Canada, Mexico, and countries in the Caribbean. The same is true for nationals of those countries seeking to visit the US. What does this mean for the average American? A family of five may accrue a bill of $740:

  • Passport fees for two adults: $134
  • "Execution" fees for two adults: $60
  • Passport fees for three children: $156
  • "Execution" fees for three children: $90
  • Expedite fee for five applications: $300
