How much does it cost to resubmit a rejected LPA?

Last updated 22 August 2026

If you resubmit a rejected LPA within 3 months, you pay a reduced fee of £46. After that, or for older applications, you pay the full £92 again. The reduced fee is set out in SI 2007/2051 regulation 5(1A).

The £46 reduced fee

The reduced resubmission fee of £46 applies when you resubmit within 3 months of the invalid application being returned, and the earlier application was made on or after 1 October 2011. This is a statutory reduced fee, not a discretionary waiver.

Why some sites get this wrong

Several commercial sites state that there is no reduced fee for resubmissions and that you must pay £92 again. That is incorrect and contradicts SI 2007/2051 reg 5(1A). Always check GOV.UK for the current position.

If you have to re-execute the whole form

If the rejection is for something that requires re-execution (such as wrong signing order), you still resubmit the new form within 3 months to claim the reduced fee. The clock runs from when the invalid application was returned, not from when you re-execute.

Frequently asked questions

Is the reduced fee automatic?

You must claim it when you resubmit within the 3-month window. State on the application that you are resubmitting a rejected LPA.

What if more than 3 months have passed?

You pay the full £92 fee again.
