The estimated cost of processing a certificate of travel is currently £382 for those over the age of 16 and £244 for those under the age of 16.

Fees for applications for certificates of travel reflect estimated processing costs. The Geneva Convention requires that Convention Travel Document fees must not exceed those for UK passports. Immigration and nationality fees are reviewed and updated annually and reflect changes in estimated costs and passport fees.
