Applying for a licence
Applications cannot be made yet as the systems and processes are not yet in place. When we have finalised these criteria we will ensure that everyone is informed of how to apply.
The application will be assessed against criminality, competence and other criteria and a decision made on whether to grant a licence. The SIA will write explaining its decision and, if successfully granted, a licence will be issued.
Appeals
If a licence is refused, or revoked an applicant will have 21 days to appeal to the appropriate Magistrate’s Court, covering the area in which the applicant is licensed, or has applied to be licensed with the SIA.
