Pay your deputyship fees

Find out the methods available for paying your deputyship fees.

Applies to England and Wales

As a deputy you must pay a fee each year to Office of the Public Guardian (OPG). This covers the cost for OPG to supervise and support you. It is usually due on 31 March for the previous year’s supervision.

To avoid any delays processing your payment, please do not pay by cheque.

Pay online

You can pay online using a debit or credit card. Go to the Supervision payments site and enter your card details.

You will be asked for a reference number when paying. Please use your OPG case number. You will find this on the letters you have received from us.

Pay by bank transfer

You can pay by transferring the fee to this account:

  • Sort Code: 60 70 80
  • Account Number: 10029052
  • Account Name: OPG Supervision
  • Reference: Your OPG case number

Pay by phone

To pay by phone using a debit or credit card, please call 0300 456 0300 (International: +44 203 518 9639). Select the options for deputyships appointed by the Court of Protection and to make a payment for a deputyship fee.
