Confirm radio licence transfer - Transferee

You can confirm a radio licence transfer after the current licence holder has submitted a transfer request.

What you need to know

We'll send you an email when the licence transfer request(s) have been submitted by the current licence holder. You need to login to the Register of Radio Frequencies (RRF) using RealMe and confirm each licence transfer.
When confirming a transfer you must also pay any fees due to complete the transfer.

• If the licence is paid until the day of the transfer, then the annual fee must be paid before the transfer can be accepted.
• If an invoice has been raised against the current licence holder of a licence being transferred, a validation error displays asking you to deselect specific licence number(s). You can continue to accept other transfer requests if appropriate.

You must confirm the transfers within 1 month of being initiated, or they will revert to the current licence holder.

Roles:

• The current licence holder is the Transferor.
• The proposed licence holder is the Transferee.

Note: An Alerts section will display for the Transferee on their ‘My Dashboard’ screen to allow them to go directly to the ‘Accept/Decline Transfer’ screen.
