What you can settle without going to the consulate

A good part of British paperwork is done without going to any office.

  • You can register a U.S. birth with the UK authorities by post, which is optional: Registering a birth.
  • You can have a UK document apostilled by the FCDO Legalisation Office by courier, or as an e-Apostille: Apostilles.
  • You can request an ACRO police certificate online and have it mailed to a U.S. address: Police certificate.

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