TV Licensing

What was discussed at your interview

The Officer will caution you. They will explain that you don’t have to say anything, but if you do it could be used in court. If you agree, they will ask to inspect your TV receiver and then they will ask you some questions about the offence of watching TV without a licence.

They will record any important information and evidence. They will also ask you about any personal circumstances that might be relevant when deciding whether to prosecute you or not.

You’ll receive a copy of your interview by email or post if you ask for one. A further copy will be sent by post if you are prosecuted.

The Officer will also hand you a leaflet with information about what to do next. You can download our leaflets here:
