Which VFS centre do I use in the UK?

Travel to India — choosing the correct VFS region for your UK postcode

In the UK, Indian document services that need an in-person step — like OCI, passport, surrender, or a paper visa — are handled through VFS Global on behalf of the Indian missions. Which VFS centre you use generally depends on where you live.

Matrix Solutions confirms your centre, prepares your file, and books the appointment, so you arrive fully prepared.

How your VFS centre is decided

Your centre is generally set by your UK address, under the jurisdiction rules of VFS and the Indian missions. Allocations can change from time to time, so it is worth confirming your current centre on the official VFS site when you book. For a fuller explanation of how jurisdiction works, see our consular jurisdictions guide (/consular-jurisdictions-for-indian-documents). Matrix Solutions checks the right centre for your address before booking.

What to expect at a VFS appointment

For most in-person services you attend on the day with your original documents and a prepared application pack. Some services include biometrics or document verification at the centre. The smoother appointments are the well-prepared ones — the right forms, a correctly formatted photo and signature, and the documents in the right order. Matrix Solutions prepares all of that in advance, so the appointment itself is straightforward.

• Confirming the correct VFS centre for your address.
