Existing operating licence holders
If you hold an operating licence and qualify as an SSO and need to add additional people in a qualifying management position, and you remain below the three or fewer threshold, the additional people will need to apply for an Annex A.
You will need to start a licence variation application to do this. There are different options for doing this, depending on whether other changes are being made to your licence activities.
Adding or removing people
If you are only adding or removing people, you will need to complete the variation application form and pay the variation fee.
You cannot do this online. You'll need to submit an application using the variation application form.
Adding or removing people and changing what you are licensed for
You can submit your licence variation online using eServices.
If you go over three people in qualifying positions
If you have more than three people in qualifying management positions, each person must then apply for a PML and pay a fee.
PML applications can be submitted by using the Apply for a personal licence service.
