Tools
Editorial tools, single use
One tool, for one question: which consulate holds your file. It answers from the county lists the three posts publish, then steps back, and a firm can help with the work itself. The conditions of the 2025 reform are set out in the jure sanguinis guide.
Consular jurisdiction
A UK postcode points to one of three consulates, London, Manchester or Edinburgh, and the result shapes everything procedural that follows. Where a postcode area crosses a jurisdiction line, the tool aims to say so and names the counties that decide it.
Useful when an applicant has not yet identified the consulate that holds jurisdiction, or wants to read the operational character of the office before approaching it.
On the editorial scope of these tools
These tools answer a structured question and stop there. They do not reproduce booking mechanics, fee schedules, or operational playbooks. A firm engaged for the work is the place for advice on a specific file, and the directory is there to help you compare firms that may be able to help. Sources are cited inside the tool. There is no fixed review schedule; each source carries the date it was read.
