US Passport - Execution Fee

[dhlunar]

Depending on when my wife becomes a citizen she might need to get a US Passport in a hurry. If she applies at a US Passport Agency would she still be required to pay the execution fee of $25? The reason I ask is because I thought the fee was collected by the Passport Acceptance Agency in order to cover their fees and time of verifying and signing off on the application.

Execution fee is required for all first time applicants regardless of where the application is made.

Thanks for clarifying that.
