Requirements and fees at the Spanish consulates in the UK
Most Spanish consular procedures ask for the same few things, and having them ready saves a second visit.
On fees, precisely: the consulates publish one list in pounds that came into force on 1 January 2026, the same in London and Manchester. The verified figures are below.
What almost every procedure asks for
- A valid identity document: Spanish DNI or passport, or your foreign passport
- Being on the consular register, for almost anything involving Spanish nationals
- A recent full birth certificate when the procedure asks for one
- Proof of address in the district (council tax, NHS letter or a recent bill)
- Foreign documents legalised or apostilled and translated, when the procedure says so
- The appointment at that particular office, which is free

How fees are paid
London and Manchester take consular fees by card, in pounds; London excludes American Express for passports. Manchester adds that discounts valid only in Spain, such as large-family ones, do not apply. Visa fees for British nationals follow reciprocity and appear in their own section of the list.
The Spanish criminal record certificate is the exception: €3.86, paid to the Ministry, not to the consulate.
