ItsEasy.com charges $29.95 on top of the U.S. State Department's passport fee for each application. The price includes a trackable priority U.S. Postal Service shipping label, the correct forms and photos, and order status updates.
The State Department expects to have approximately 36 million passport renewals by 2017—an unprecedented amount.
