Apply for a charity collection permit

I’m applying for a house-to-house collection permit over a 12 month period and my request has been approved
Thank you. You can only typically apply online for a house-to-house collection permit for an up-to 12 month period, or up-to 18 months with prior authorisation from the Met's licensing team.
If you wish to apply for a maximum of 18 months, please email the team at the Met first to do this.
You can continue online if the team have approved your request.
