What is tacit consent?

Tacit consent applies to some, but not all, licences. If tacit consent applies, this means that you can act as if your application has been granted if you do not receive your licence/permit within a certain time after we confirm we have received your application.

See the individual licence pages to check if tacit consent applies.
