Here are the latest reliable contact options for TV Licensing in the UK:
- Main phone line for general TV Licensing enquiries: 0300 790 6165. This is the primary number listed by TV Licensing for general information and to discuss licensing needs.[3]
- Payment-specific lines (varies by payment method):
- For payment card customers (cash plan), use 0300 555 0286.
- For Direct Debit or all-in-one-pay customers, use 0300 790 0368. These numbers are provided by TV Licensing in their FAQs for payment-related questions.[2]
- General “Contact us” page: TV Licensing maintains a dedicated contact page with further methods (including an online form and postal address) at tvlicensing.co.uk/cs/contact-us/index.app.[9]
Notes:
- If you’re calling from outside the UK or have special accessibility needs, TV Licensing also provides language options and alternative contact details on their site.[2]
- For non-urgent questions or updates (e.g., changing address, license status), their main line or the online contact form are typically the quickest routes; postal mail is slower but useful for formal correspondence.[3][9]
Example use case:
- If you’re updating your address and prefer speaking to a person, call the main line 0300 790 6165 during open hours (08:30–18:30 on weekdays; check their site for any updates).[3]
If you’d like, I can tailor a quick step-by-step for your specific situation (e.g., moving address, buying a new license, or checking renewal status) and provide the exact lines to use.
