TV Licence Reminders

TV Licence renewal reminder

Upload your TV Licence and Orlo reminds you 6 weeks, 2 weeks, and 3 days before it expires. Free to use.

Why the TV Licence date matters

A lapsed licence is more than an inconvenience.

The renewal email is easy to miss

TV Licensing sends a renewal notice by post or email, but it can land weeks before the date and get buried or ignored until it is too late.

The fine is a real cost

Watching or streaming live TV without a valid licence can result in prosecution and a fine well above the cost of the licence itself.

Direct debit does not always cover it

Not everyone pays by instalment plan, and even those who do sometimes have a payment fail silently, leaving the licence lapsed without a clear warning.

How it works

Upload your TV Licence confirmation

Orlo reads the expiry date from the confirmation email or letter automatically.

Get reminded ahead of time

Reminders are suggested 6 weeks, 2 weeks, and 3 days before the licence expires, giving you time to renew before it lapses.

Renew without the last minute scramble

No more checking whether this year is the year it slipped through.

One place for every household renewal

Orlo also tracks energy tariffs and subscriptions alongside your TV Licence. See everything Orlo can remind you about.

Frequently asked questions

What if I already pay by direct debit or instalments?

Orlo still reminds you before the renewal date. It costs nothing to have a backup reminder in case a payment fails or a card expires.

Can Orlo read a TV Licence confirmation email?

Yes, upload a screenshot or a saved PDF of the confirmation and Orlo will extract the licence expiry date and set up the reminder sequence.

What else can Orlo track alongside this?

Household bills, insurance renewals, subscriptions, and other recurring costs, all in one place with one consistent reminder approach.

Is Orlo free to use for this?

Yes, the free plan includes 5 uploads a month, which is more than enough to track a TV Licence alongside a few other renewals.

Never let your TV Licence lapse

Upload your confirmation and Orlo handles the reminders. Free to get started.
