SIA Licence Help
So you’ve passed the course – what happens next? This depends on who is paying for your licence…
**If you are paying for your own licence, directly to the SIA**
There are 3 steps to the licence application process:-
- Setup your online profile with the SIA at https://services.sia.homeoffice.gov.uk/sign-up/
- Log into your SIA account, click on ‘Process new application’, answer the questions and submit your application
- Go to the Post Office with your ID – they will also take your photo for your licence and take payment
