Scrap metal site changes

If any details of the site change after a scrap metal dealers licence has been issued, you must notify the Licensing team within 28 days of the change.

Changes can include:

  • moving a site licence to another site, but not changing the site licence holder name or site manager

How to update a licence

1. View and pay the licence fee prior to submitting a licence update request. Our licensing payments page explains what fees apply and how to pay them.

2. Email the following to licensing@derby.gov.uk:

  • licence holder details - name, address, email and telephone number
  • business name and address 
  • details of the change you are requesting
  • a copy of your payment receipt.

You must include a copy of your payment receipt. Any application received without a payment receipt will not be processed.

We must receive your application and payment receipt within 28 days of any changes occurring.
