Answers before you begin
What is the official Part I Registration fee?
Official tariffs can change. Our published final package prices include applicable government registration charges within the stated scope. Any work outside that scope needs a fixed total accepted before payment.
Is an Ofcom Ship Radio Licence free?
Ofcom states that an online ship radio licence application is free. A professional service may charge for handling and preparation.
Will I definitely need a UK company?
Not automatically. The route depends on owner nationality, residence, ownership and other eligibility factors.
Can you guarantee registration?
No. Our checker and service are preliminary assistance. The relevant authorities make the final decision.
