Nominate someone for an honour or award

Nominate someone who lives or contributes overseas

You can nominate someone for an honour if they:

  • live overseas
  • live in the UK but have made a contribution overseas

They’ll be given an ‘honorary award’ if they’re not:

  • British
  • a national of a country where the King is Head of State

There’s a different process for gallantry awards.

Download and fill in the nomination form and send it to the Honours Secretariat, part of the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO).

You can also ask the unit questions about the nomination process.
