The association posted advance notice of an upward adjustment to passport and document certification fees, so that members can plan around the change before it takes effect.

Services handled through the association include new passport issuance and renewal, and certification of various documents. Fees for these follow the standards set by the relevant authorities.

The notice did not specify the scale of the adjustment or the date it takes effect. The association said it would provide further guidance once these are confirmed.

Members whose passports are nearing expiry, or who expect to need documents certified, may find it cheaper to complete the work before the effective date, allowing for document preparation and processing time.

It is worth confirming required documents and office hours before visiting. A missing document means a second trip and twice the time.

This paper will report the effective date and revised amounts once the association issues its follow-up notice.
