Traveling will soon be a bit more pricey for anyone who needs to apply for or renew their passports.
Starting on Monday, a U.S. passport book fee will shoot up by $20 for all customers.

A first-time or replacement adult passport will cost $165, while passport renewals will cost $130.
Travelers under 16 will pay $135.
