Class licences for wildlife management
Register to use a class licence for activities that need specific skill or experience to avoid risk to the conservation or welfare of a protected species.
If you plan to act under the authority of a class licence you:
- must be registered to use most class licences
- need to apply to be registered for each licence you use
- remain eligible to use the licence(s) for as long as you remain registered
- meet the recording and reporting requirement for each licence
- might need to pay to register or renew a class licence - each licence will tell you if you’ll need to pay
You should use a general licence for activities that have a lower risk for conservation or the welfare of a protected species.
For further information see Wildlife licences: when you need to apply.
