As usual, our offices will be closed over the August Bank Holiday weekend, from Saturday 28 August to Monday 30 August (inclusive). Our phone lines and the majority of our inboxes will not be monitored over this period.
However, there is a limited Registration service available, to respond to urgent queries from registrants whose renewal period ends on 31 August 2021.
Information about the areas operating this support, and how you can contact us if your query falls into one of these, is below. If your query falls outside these areas, we will respond to your query as soon as possible after the weekend.
