TV Licensing

How will you know if I don't have a TV Licence?

There are a number of ways we can find out. At the heart of our operation is the TV Licensing database of approximately 31 million home and business addresses, telling us which of these have TV Licences. All of our visiting officers have access to this database and will check whether or not you have a licence. If you are using a TV and are unlicensed, you could face prosecution and a hefty fine.

We also have a range of detection equipment at our disposal.

In fact, we catch an average of over 1,000 people watching TV without a licence every day.
