I hope this help.

The passport processing, execution, and security fees may be paid in any of the following forms: Checks (personal, certified, traveler’s); major

credit card (Visa, Master Card, American Express, and Discover); bank draft or cashier’s check; money order (U.S. Postal, international, currency exchange),

or if abroad, the foreign currency equivalent, or a check drawn on a U.S. bank

Juat a couple of notes regarding this. FIrstly you will have to either visit one of the numerous post offices or city hall in Philly to apply for your passport as there is no representative from the passport agency at the oath ceremony. You can however apply to vote at the Oath ceremony.

Secondary you can only pay the service processing fee ($25) using a major credit card, the actual passport fee ($110) can only be paid with a check or money order (no cash for either).

Although they may tell you at the oath ceremony that they have an agreement with the passport agency for a free Expedited passport (within the first 30 days) for new citizens, nobody will honor that agreement.

So a US passport will cost me $25+$110...Am I right?

For some reason I though this will be another $650+...like all the applications we filed.

What is the additional cost for the expedited passport?

Yes, assuming you just want the passport book and not the passport card ($30). Personally I didnt bother which the passport card as you can not use it for air travel and its only valid between the USA, Canada and The Carrabean.

The cost for a expedited passport is $60.00.

Heres the full price list:

Cant the book be used to travel to the Caribbean, Canada etc....

yeah the book is more important..I would rather spend the money on the expedited service than the card.

Yep the passport book can be used everywhere including the caribbean canada etc, its just the card thats limited. I didnt bother with it as I will already be carrying a United Kingdom/EU and US Passport anyways which takes care of everywhere I might be travelling.
