Want to make getting licensed easier? Come to a licensing workshop

There are three basic parts to an LBP application – the application form; passport photos and certification of identification (drivers licence; passport or birth certificate). A licensing workshop makes the application as simple as possible by providing:

  • A place to ask questions
  • Free passport photos
  • Free photocopying of documents
  • Certification of documents

If your application is completed on the day – we’ll even take it and save you the hassle of sending it off!
