If you apply for a passport, is the execution fee separate from the passport fees?

I am applying for a passport and I am reading that it costs $97 for me. $55 for the processing, $30 for the execution fees, and $12 for the security fees and I am doing the expedited service which is $60 so my total is $157. The post office says they have an execution fee which is also $30. Am I paying $157 for the passport or $187 for the passport

Answer:
The passport, security, and expedited service fees are paid to the State Dept. The execution fee is paid to the facility handling your application. You are paying $157.
The execution fee is probably the fee you pay to the person at the post office (or other facility) who goes over the form with you. If you can file by mail you don't need that, but if you have to go in person, yes, the fee is on top. (I paid it on top when I got my kids' passports last month.)
Depends what country you live in.
Yeah, it's $157 ... $127 for Expedited processing/etc. to the State Dept., and $30 to the Post Office. Your figures are wrong because you're counting TWO execution fees ... you getting more than one passport, homie?

But wait ... there's MORE:

* Photos --- $15 at the Post Office, $10 or so at Walgreen's, etc ... YOU decide.

* Postage to mail your passport in, and then get it back (that's NOT included in the above prices). $16.25 to send it in (NEXT DAY STYLE), $16.25 to get it back fast. Or you can spend 2 - 3 days and go Priority, but it's an average, and it's not guaranteed.

You'll be paying right around $200 after it's all said and done. Hope it's worth it!
should be 127 + 30. the 30 is the execution fee that is paid to the post office. the 127 goes to the state department with the application and the 30 stays with the post office. sounds like the post office is trying to charge you double.
