[Note to Newsreaders: Please ensure you include the first item about
the Licence for Life, which we are rotating around the Regions over a
period of weeks.]
Please note, although the current UK amateur radio licence is known
as a ‘licence for life', all radio amateurs are required to
revalidate their licence at least every five years. This means every
licence holder must contact Ofcom to confirm or update the details on
the licence database. The quickest way to revalidate is simply to
access the licensing system and confirm or re-confirm your details
online via the Ofcom website, or by email to
spectrum.licensing<at>ofcom.org.uk. Links to the Ofcom website as
well as a helpful article about the Licensing Portal, Registration
and Revalidation can be found on the RSGB website at
