Do I include the $25 fee to the acceptance agent with the other documents?
No. You pay this fee directly to the Passport Acceptance Agent. This is their fee for the job they are doing of verifying, signing, stamping, and sealing your documents. They usually can accept this fee with either cash, credit card, or personal check. This fee is required for all applications except for renewals or extra visa page applications.
