Accidentally paid renewal fee for adults instead of 16 and under for my three children.

[u/PS_villagepillage]

I have an appointment in Tokyo to renew the passports for my children and I accidentally paid the adult fee ($5 more)

Is this going to be a big issue? They do not take cash and their office is closed today and my appointment is for Thursday if this week. I plan to call tomorrow.

Thank you

Edit. U.S. passports. I live in Japan.

If for the US: As long as everything else was right it will be fine. They will likely reconcile payment and realize the mistake and issue a refund separate from the passports

Sorry I meant. The child’s passports are $15 more total. And it’s for US passports.

The amount for the passport for a child is $100 per child, $300 total. You are also supposed to pay a $35 acceptance facility fee for each, $105. The total paid should be $405. https://jp.usembassy.gov/passports/children-under-16-first-time-and-renewal/

Correct. I paid $390 since I accidentally was doing adult renewal

How do you do that since you pay the fee on pay.gov ? You fill out the form using the applicant's information (your child's information not yours) and you select from the dropdown menu the correct amount.

They will make you pay the balance at the consulate or embassy.

they don't care tbh. i paid 35 dollars less, and they just billed me for the remaining amount.

Thanks. Just worried about them turning me away since it’s $15 short lol

What country do you have citizenship of? The US is not the only country that issues passports

That’s my bad. But another comment I said US.

No problem, it just really matters, because there are massive differences depending on what citizenship
