Change of Operating Status

If a carrier changes their Operating Status, they will be required to comply with different regulatory requirements.

How to apply

Your request for a change in operating status will be considered if you complete and submit:

Name change

Where a corporate name or surname has changed, the carrier is required to amend the name on their current Safety Fitness Certificate and / or Operating Authority Certificate.

Access is provided by the existing Carrier/Public Profile service through a new Carrier Document Portal service. Not all documents will be available online as some will continue to be delivered by email with attachments and by mail.
