Disqualification

Are you under 18 years old?

In the last 5 years, were you:

• Convicted of:
  • A specified offence?
  • An offence under the Secondhand Dealers and Pawnbrokers Act 2004? or
  • An offence under the Pawnbrokers Act 1908 or Secondhand Dealers Act 1963?
  • Imprisoned?

In the last 5 years, was

• Your certificate or licence cancelled?
• Your application for renewal of a certificate or licence refused?
• A company licence cancelled while you were a person concerned with the company's management?

Is your certificate suspended?

If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, you will be automatically disqualified from holding a secondhand dealers licence or certificate.

A company is disqualified if it has:

• been convicted in the last five years of a specified offence; or
• if it has had its licence cancelled in the last five years.

The Licensing Authority can waive a disqualification. The Authority may do so, if there are special reasons.
