Summary at a Glance

Students living away from home: Students who are living away from home may also be covered if their parents have a TV licence, but only if they're watching TV on a device that isn't plugged into the mains, such as a phone, tablet or laptop.

You need a TV licence to watch or record live TV, or to watch anything on BBC iPlayer, even if it is on-demand.

But if you don't watch any live TV or BBC iPlayer, then don't need to pay for a TV licence.

Over-75 and claiming Pension Credit: People aged over 75 who are claiming Pension Credit can get a free TV licence.

You can apply for a free TV licence when you turn 74, as TV Licensing will update your payments to cover you until your 75th birthday.
