Application for an explosives vehicle licence or a licence to transport explosives by rail

What it contains

Blank application form.

Who should complete this form

Under Part 7 of the Dangerous Goods (Explosives) Regulations 2022 (the Regulations), a person must not transport explosives using any road vehicle unless that person holds:

• an explosives vehicle licence for the vehicle used, or
• a vehicle licence under equivalent legislation issued by a corresponding authority and meets the requirements of the Regulations.

A person must not transport explosives by rail in quantities greater than the outlined quantities in the Regulations unless the person holds a licence:

• under the Regulations authorising them to do so, or
• under equivalent legislation issued by a corresponding authority.

A person must hold an explosives vehicle licence for each vehicle used, or intended to be used, in the transport of explosives. You may use this form to apply for a licence for more than one vehicle at the same time. A fee is payable for each explosives road vehicle. Each road vehicle will be issued with an individual licence.

Note: Prime movers cannot be licensed. Only the trailer itself needs to be licensed.
