Quick answer

Every specific fee we quote is published here as CSV, with the official source and the date we checked it. Enrolment is £53.05, an adult online passport is £102, a CNI notice is £46.50 from 6 April 2026, witnessing a statutory declaration is £5, and a DVLA name change is free.

Who should skip this

Do not treat this file as a live API of government prices. Capture dates can lag a statutory instrument. If you are paying a register office or the FCDO today, re-check their page before you pay.

## What are the official UK fees right now?

These are not our charges. They are the figures we cite in guides, each with a primary source and a capture date. Amounts change when a statutory instrument or GOV.UK page is updated — use the Checked column, not the date you fetched this page. Re-read the source before you pay a register office or the FCDO today.

## Frequently asked questions

### Can I reuse this data?+

Yes. The CSVs and datapackage.json are published under CC BY 4.0. Credit InstantDeedPoll.co.uk and keep the source URLs and capture dates attached to any figure you quote.

### Are the official fees the prices you charge?+

No. Official fees (enrolment, passport, CNI, witnessing, apostille, DVLA) are charged by government or regulated professionals. Our product prices are listed separately in our-prices.csv.

### What happens when a fee changes?+

We re-read the source, update the figure and capture date in one place (src/lib/content/facts.ts), regenerate the CSVs at build, and log the change on the corrections page if a reader might have acted on the old number.
