Add locations to a consignor or consignee authorisation

If you’re already starting or ending transit movements from your own premises, then you can add more locations to your existing authorisation. Find out about the types of premises you can use to start or end transit movements.

You’ll need to hold the correct authorisation type before adding locations. For example, you cannot add an authorised consignor location if you are only an authorised consignee.

Any locations you add will operate under the same terms and conditions as your existing authorisation. If you want to update your authorisation terms and conditions, you’ll need to do this before you add any more locations.

Email [email protected] to ask about updating your authorisation.

There’s no limit to the number of locations you can have under a single consignor or consignee authorisation. You can add up to 20 locations on each form.
