Illustration for Plumbers, Gasfitters, and Drainlayers Act 2006

You apply for a practising licence. The Board checks if you are entitled to one under section 44. If you are entitled, the Board gives you a licence. They send you proof of the licence. The Board tells the Registrar to update the register with your licence details. If the Board is not satisfied, they tell you their decision. They also tell you that you can appeal to the District Court. The Registrar updates the register as soon as they can after the Board's decision.
