Make a payment to MHRA

How to make a payment to MHRA by credit or debit card or a bank transfer.

Payments

Once your application has been validated you will receive an invoice to allow you to make payment for the outstanding amount.

All invoices must be settled upon receipt of invoice. Penalty fees may be incurred for non-payment. Details of the penalties are set out in the Fees Regulations.

Non-payment may also result in suspension of any licence or authorisation, followed by legal proceedings for any unpaid amounts, as a debt due to the Crown.

Please ensure you quote relevant invoice and customer number when making payment.

Cheques are no longer accepted

We no longer accept cheques; please pay by credit or debit card or pay electronically by Bank transfer.

Purchase Orders (POs) and non-payments

It is the responsibility of the applicant to ensure timely payment of invoices for their submissions. If your organisation operates a PO system, please ensure the relevant PO is provided to MHRA before the invoice is issued.

Refusal to pay outstanding fees on the grounds that a PO is not provided on invoice will not be accepted; the use of POs is an internal control process and cannot be used as a reason to withhold payment of legitimate invoices.b
