For individual licences in accommodation

Please note, this licence does not extend to accommodation buildings. Anyone using TV signal-receiving equipment in their rented rooms must obtain a separate TV licence.

Handling unwanted reminders and demands

The TV Licensing Board matches addresses to the University licence number to prevent unnecessary reminders or demands being sent to individual departments. If you receive a TV licence reminder:

  • Refer to the PDF document linked below, which lists addresses linked to the main University licence.
  • If your address is outside the Edinburgh postal town area or is marked as 'not listed' on the spreadsheet, you will need to purchase your own licence.
  • If your address is linked, there is no need to renew an existing licence.
  • Contact the TV Licensing Board using the number provided on the reminder notice for clarification.
