Rates of exchange issued by the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) for consular services provided at our embassies, high commissions and consulates abroad.

Documents

Details

When you pay for a service online, the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office collects the fee in Pounds Sterling (GBP). If you pay for a service in cash, we use these monthly consular exchange rates to convert the fee into local currency.

Consular fees are charged in GPB under the Consular Fees Order 2012, as amended. Consular rates of exchange are set centrally in the UK and reviewed each month in line with changes to exchange rates.

Disclaimer

Consular fees are set in Pounds Sterling (GBP). They are payable in the currency circulating at the place of payment. Consular officers have discretion to accept, in lieu of such currency, a cheque, money order, or other means to pay in terms of that currency.
