Check which marine licence you need

Use this service to check whether your activity or project is likely to fall under marine licence band 1, 2 or 3.

You are not applying for a licence at this stage.

How the service works

Answer six questions about the activities you need a licence for.

At the end of the questions, you’ll be told:

• which marine licence band it's likely you'll need
• what this means for your application
• what to do next, including how to apply

If you’re not sure about any answer, you can choose 'not sure' and we’ll tell you what to do next.
