The Security Industry Authority (SIA) is urging thousands of licence holders to claim back their share of over £400,000 waiting to be returned to them in licence fee refunds.
Operatives holding more than one valid SIA licence can claim a 50pc refund on their second or subsequent licences – that’s a refund of £122.50 for each additional licence granted. (Conditions may apply.)
Thousands of operatives have obtained two or more licences but have failed to claim back a refund on the full £245 licence application fee. The SIA is advising licence holders to act now and make a claim.
To claim applicants should:
Hold more than one valid SIA licence
Hold a full price licence that has more than four months left to run
Write to the SIA with their full name, address, phone number and licence numbers.
If a claimant applied for their licences through a company Bulk Application System then the company needs to apply for the refund.
Applicants should write to: Finance Department (Licence Refunds), Security Industry Authority
