DX (Courier) fees from Embassy

[wbeem 568]

Does anyone know what the fees are for having the passports and packet sent through once approved? Or, is there anywhere I could check the approximate cost? We will have a K1 and K2, so would we pay the fee twice, or only once if both are being done at the same time? I'm trying to produce some kind of budget forecast for this somewhat costly process and that information would fill in one more blank.

Thank you. So the courier fee is per passport, even if they are processed together? My daughter is 12 so she won't need a Police Certificate. Thank you for the information.

How do I check where my nearest depot is?

Hi,

I'm presuming you are in the UK?

Yes, I am. Thank you for the link.

That's great news, knowing we can opt to collect it. There is a drop box about 30 minutes from where I am. I will tie that in with a social family visit at the time.
