Hello,

Here is some info: https://www.gov.uk/passport-fees

Passport for people born on or before 2 September 1929 is free

Also, this might be worth a look: http://webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/20091009065536/direct.gov.uk/en/pensionsandretirementplanning/travelandleisure/travellingathomeandabroad/dg_10026847

I've read a few online things that state "over 75s get a free one"

I'd phone them and check to be sure.

The link is out of date. The free passport is available to those that were a certain age at the end of WW2, the OP will not qualify.

You can get or renew a British passport for free if you’re a British national and were born on or before 2 September 1929.
