Summary at a Glance

You don't automatically get a free TV licence when you turn 75 - you have to apply to turn your TV licence into a free one.

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.

If you turn 75 and become eligible for a free TV licence, you can get a refund for any length of time left on your 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.
