What you can settle without going to the consulate

None of these needs a consulate visit.

  • 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.

    • A notarial appointment is worth it only after a local notary has said no; gov.uk recommends trying a notary first.

    This is an independent guide, not the UK government. It does not process applications or book appointments. Fees and procedures change: check anything that decides a trip on gov.uk.
