How to apply for an ERA Licence

If you would like to apply for a licence please contact ERA by telephone 0207837 3222 or email era@era.org.uk.

This is because we need to check that your establishment isn’t already covered by existing arrangements.  We also need to ensure that your establishment is eligible for an ERA Licence. Once these checks have been made we will send you an application form and general information about the licence.
