Renew a leaflet distribution permit

Renewal reminders

Applicants will be sent a renewal reminder approximately three months before the permit expires. The responsibility for renewal remains with the permit holder and after the initial reminder is issued, no further reminder will be sent. 

If a permit lapses the holder cannot distribute free printed material in the prohibited area until the replacement permit has been issued.
