<p>The circumstances where a passport fee may be waived are set out in the Passport
(Fees) Regulations 2022. Further waivers to the passport fee would result in a reduction
in income for covering the costs of administering a passport application, which may
result in an increase in other passport fees or an increase to the burden upon the
taxpayer.</p><p>In the circumstances where a passport has been damaged when being

the holder to follow the complaints process of the relevant border agency.</p>
