Hiya,

I've just sent off my application for a practice license, just wondering how long it took for the practice license to come through for other members?

Thanks.

I think I had my number within 5 working days and then the manual within about 7 working days (it was less than the 2 weeks they quote).
Good luck with your business

Hi everyone....first post here although I post a lot on other forums  :-)


I sent off for my Practice Licence about a month ago, had the MLR manual quite quickly (didn't actually need it as I had one already) but am still waiting for my Licence Number despite one chase up already.

Hi passed my level 2 manual and just finished the level 2 computerised so that will be sent off on saturday just wondering where you find the application for your practice license as i assumed it would come with my certificate of associate membership but it didn't?

Hi Nikki,

I don't think the application for a Practice Licence automatically comes with your Level II Certificate, you'll have to ask for it.  I telephoned the ICB and asked them to send it  :-)

My comments may be useful to new bookkeepers.
I have been practicing a few years, in a small number of clients 
The ICB appear to be tightening their belts a bit.
I'll explain--When you are renewing your practice the ICB will not issue it without the relevant MLR forms.Do you all understand the 'rig mayroll' that it involves.
I think MLR concept is ok, but it is daunting to bookkeepers who are practicing in a small way.
Would like to hear anyones thoughts on that.
Anyway with myself --I renewed without the form so I had to send the MLR 8 on afterwards.
Also ICB pointed out that I was practicing without passing a tax assessment exam.
Even though I know enough about it to be able to to it. May be I thought attending all the IR workshops was enough. Is anyone out there doing the same?

Hello

My practice licence application got accepted about 5 days after I sent it off which I found out from the website, but I have had no pack or paperwork and that was about a month ago.

I shall be calling next week to chase it up as I was advised to give it 3 weeks.
