Consultation on the proposed practising certificate fee (PCF) 2026/27

The Faculty Office has today launched its consultation on the proposed Practising Certificate Fee (PCF) for the 2026/27 practising year.

We apologise that this consultation has been launched a little later than usual. As a result, the consultation period is slightly shorter and will close on 28 August 2026. This is to ensure that we can submit our application and obtain approval from the Legal Services Board (LSB) in time for the launch of practising certificate renewals in early October.

The consultation document is available here: consultation.
