Here the various fees for passports explained
Acceptance Agent Fee: The acceptance agent, which is typically a post office libary or clerk of the court. These individuals are authorized to "adjudicate" a passport application which is somewhat like witnessing the application. They will verify check the identity of the applicant, review the documents provided and witness signatures. This is required for new adult passports minor passports and to replace lost passports. The fee is $35 and is paid at the time you visit the clerk or postal worker. Fee can be typically paid via cash, check money order and sometimes a credit card.
New Passport (for adults age 16 and older): For a new adult passport book: $130 application fee and a $35 execution fee. The new total fee is $165. If you want to expedite at a post office you can pay an additional $60 fee to return the passport in 4-6 weeks.

Again, this is only if you want a passport card but you’ve never had a passport before. If you already have a passport, use Form DS-82 to apply for a passport card by mail and avoid the execution fee.

Passports for children under the age of 16: The application fee is $100.00 and the execution fee is $35.00, for a total of $135.00.

Thank you this was very helpful, you are appreciated 🙏🏾

I had no idea that when I paid $200+ to Rushmypassport, I would also have to pay $200+ to the government as well via Money Order. I felt like it was a bit of a rip off since it was only to create a document and I still had to go elsewhere to pay more and actually ship off my documentation. Oh well 🙃
