What you can settle without going to the consulate

You can handle these without leaving home.

  • You can claim your UK State Pension through the International Pension Centre: State Pension.
  • You can register as an overseas voter and renew it every three years: Voting from abroad.
  • You can get a UK ETA in the official app or online, if you are not British: UK ETA for Americans.

    • If you need an emergency travel document, apply online first; the office tells you whether you need to come in.
