How can I pay a fine or charge?

Answer

Libraries & Collections are now cashless, any payments for fines or inter-library loans can now only be made online.

Online

Payments for fines and inter-library loans can be made online using credit from your printing account. You can make the payment by logging into your library account (sign in via Library Search) and selecting 'My account' then 'Pay charges'. The payment will be removed from your printing account. Please see our online payments section below for full instructions.

Departmental charge request form: this online IT Service Request form can be used by King's Departmental Staff to add print credit to one or many accounts.

Note for staff and NHS staff

The online payments service requires that the number on your University ID card is linked with your King's username.

If when trying to pay charges you see the error message ‘There is a problem with your session/account’, this usually means that your accounts are not linked.

You can request this by emailing library@kcl.ac.uk with the following information:

  • Name
  • King’s/NHS email address
  • Number on your College ID card 
  • King’s username

For all other library members

Library members without a King's username will unfortunately not be able to use this service.
