Do You Need a TV Licence for a Static Caravan?

What Is a TV Licence?

Any UK household watching or recording TV that is being broadcasted, by law, must hold a TV licence. If you watch TV in your home without a licence, it is against the law and can incur a penalty fee of up to £1,000.

Most people either pay their TV annually or monthly on a direct debit and once this is paid, TV can be watched or streamed from any device.

What Exactly Constitutes ‘Watching TV’?

  • Watching or recording live TV, at the time that it is broadcast.
  • Accessing online TV services such as BBC iPlayer from a laptop, tablet, mobile or other device.

Do I Need a Separate Licence for My Static Caravan?

Many static caravan owners feel unsure about the regulations regarding TV Licensing, without knowing the official rules, it can be easy to make a mistake which could result in a costly and unnecessary penalty fee.

We are here to clarify the rules and to help you to get it right.

If you have paid for a TV licence for your brick-and-mortar home, then your static caravan will be covered by the same licence, unless you will be using the TV at your static caravan and by someone else watching TV at your home whilst you are away at the same time. In the case of the latter, a separate TV licence will be needed.

Also, if your static caravan is your main residence, then your will also need a TV licence for the static caravan.

What Do I Need to Do?

TV Licensing provides a declaration form to be completed and returned in which owners can confirm non-simultaneous use of their TV licence between a home address and a static caravan.
