Hi Peter, Thank you so much for this online process and for helping me obtain my Marine Radio Licence. I booked a sailing holiday in Croatia and didn’t realise I needed the licence until they asked for it after I had paid the booking fee. I was in a bit of a panic fearing I would loose my deposit. Fortunately I found your website and obtained the licence in 1 week. Brilliant!!!!
