Renew
There are 2 ways you can renew – online or by mail.
It’s faster and cheaper to renew online.
No refunds
If your renewal application is turned down or you make a mistake and have to reapply, you won’t get your fee back. This is because the fee covers what it costs us to process the application.
For more information about the rare cases we may give a refund, you can contact us.
Temporary certificate to work while training not needed for renewals
You don’t need to apply for a temporary certificate when applying for renewal. This is because your current licence or certificate stays active while we process the application – even if it passes the expiry date on the badge. We’ll show this information in the public register so people know your licence or certificate is still active.
Renew
If you already have a licence, it must currently be 'active' in order to renew.
If your licence has expired, go to the Apply Online page.
If your licence is active, follow the steps below.
To check if your licence has expired, search your details in the Public register of licence and certificate holders.
Make sure you:
- find your licence or certificate number (this is on your badge)
- fill in the form
- confirm your payment method
- give a suitable passport style photograph
- give details of your identification (ID)
- give proof of training and skills
