TV Licensing

What happens when I move home?

When you move home your TV Licence doesn’t automatically move with you, you will need to update your address (you can do this up to three months before you move). You’ll need your TV Licence number to do this.

Don't know your TV Licence number?

Please don’t cancel your licence when you move. In most cases you won’t need to cancel your licence. Find out more about cancellations and refunds and moving address.

Not moving in straight away? Tell us your new property is empty to stop receiving the letters we send to unlicensed addresses.

If you pay for someone else’s licence by Direct Debit and have moved, you can update your details (name, address, bank account, correspondence address and email) to make sure you still receive reminders and payment plan updates. You’ll need the licence number, the licence holder’s last name and postcode to sign in. If you don’t know the TV Licence number, you can use your bank details or email address to find it.

Please tell us if you’ve already declared you don’t need a licence and are moving home.
