Document replacement for licensees and non-profits affected by disasters

If a natural disaster is declared, the Office of Fair Trading (OFT) will help replace any lost, damaged or destroyed documents for the industries we licence and charities and not-for-profits we register.

For free, we will:

  • replace your destroyed licences, ID cards or certificates
  • replace destroyed non-profit group rules
  • give you an extension on any new applications or renewals
  • waive late fees.

You’ll need to contact us in writing with:

  • your name or your organisation’s name (as it appears on your licence)
  • your licence or registration number (if you have it)
  • the details of what happened.
