Start the application process, either online or via a paper application. Where possible BASC would always recommend applying online.

When applying online make sure you have all the information you need, to hand, to prevent being timed out.

We suggest printing and completing hard copy forms first as there is no option to save or go back online.

Complete/upload application a minimum of eight weeks before expiry.

If online, make sure you save a copy to your computer. If paper, make photocopies.

Post paper applications by Recorded Delivery and ensure you receive an electronic receipt for online applications.
