Can I transfer my TV Licence to another person, as I'm moving out?
If you’re moving home
Yes. You can transfer your TV Licence to someone who is living at your address and is covered by your current licence. You’ll need to give your written permission for us to transfer the licence. Please ensure that you sign the letter you send to us. You can write to us at:

If the other person has moved in after you have moved out you’ll need to cancel your licence. Find out more about moving address.
Not moving but still want to transfer your licence?
- Find out what to do if the licence holder dies.
- If someone living with you is over 74 they can apply for a free over 75 TV Licence. Once they have this licence, you can cancel your old licence and request a refund. Alternatively find out how to apply if you turn 74 before the licence holder.
Want to pay for someone else?
You don’t have to transfer the licence if you want to pay for someone else.
