Illustration for Plumbers, Gasfitters, and Drainlayers Act 2006

You can have your registration or licence cancelled if you ask for it. The Registrar will ask you in a letter if you want to cancel your registration or licence. You need to reply to the letter in writing. You can also ask to cancel your provisional licence or employer licence. The Registrar will send you a letter to ask if you want to cancel it. If you do not reply, the Registrar may send you another notice. If you still do not reply, the Board may cancel your registration or licence. This can happen if you do not respond within 20 working days of the notice. The Board can cancel your registration, practising licence, or provisional licence if you do not reply.
