Is there an online service where you can order valid cheques in pounds or a Royal Mail postal order from outside of the UK (more precisely in Belgium)?

I need a cheque or a postal order in pounds because the UK visas and immigration department lists these as the only acceptable forms of payments for a freedom of information request.

  • As your in Belgium, does the post office there have international money orders? It may not be online, but it might have the service you need.

  • I checked with Bpost (Belgian Post) and sadly they told me that they no longer offer any cheques :(.

    You need to ask for money orders rather than cheques. They're not the same.

Most banks will provide cheques or money orders in foreign currencies for an appropriate fee, assuming you have an account with them. I have sent Sterling (GBP) cheques from my Canadian bank on many occasions. They would do it for most other currencies too.

This service also appears to provide money orders in Belgium, with the option to receive GBP in the UK, although not online.

  • I have already tried that with my bank, I made them a request for cheques in pounds but they told me that they no longer such a service. I think that at least in Belgium banks want to phase-out cheques. That is why I was wondering whether there was an online service from where you could order cheques.

    Did you ask about money orders and similar services?
