Security licence: Renewals

A renewal notice will be sent out to licence holders 56 days prior to expiry date of the licence. Please advise Licensing Services (Security) of any change of address to ensure you receive your renewal form. It is however, the responsibility of the licence holder to ensure his/her licence is renewed.

Applications for the renewal of a licence are to be made at Licensing Services (Security) no later than 28 days before the day on which the licence is due to expire.
