How we check the information on this site

This site is an independent guide to the French consular network in the United Kingdom. Every address, fee and rule on it comes from a page we have read and saved, and the date of that check is printed on each page.

Where the information comes from

  • The official directory of French offices in the UK on uk.diplomatie.gouv.fr: the Embassy, the consulates in London and Edinburgh and the nineteen honorary consuls, each with the services the directory lists.
  • The consulates’ own pages on passports, ID cards, civil status, nationality, fees and emergencies.
  • 23 outside sources, among them GOV.UK, the European Commission and the EU’s ETIAS and EES sites, France-Visas and Service-Public.fr.
  • Google Maps, only to compare what it shows with the official address, and Google reviews, rewritten and signed with the reviewer’s first name and initial.

How we date and compare them

Each source is saved with the date it shows ("updated on") or, failing that, the day we read it. When two official pages disagree, the more recent one is what we publish, with its date. When they cannot be dated, or one is the UK government's own page about its own service, we publish both and say which is which.

Fees are copied from the consulate's table in pounds (updated 2 November 2026), which follows the chancery exchange rate: the sterling figure can move between two updates.

What we do not publish

  • The street address of an honorary consul when it is a private home: the town only.
  • Phone numbers from directories or Google that the official pages do not give, unless we say so.
  • Any figure we cannot trace to a saved page.

To report an error, write to [email protected] with the page and the source that contradicts it.

Independent information, not an official service: frenchconsulates.co.uk has no link with the French authorities.

We read the official pages, date what we use and report disagreements between them. Always check with the consulate before you go.
