Important note about Agricultural Holdings Certificate

On 6 June 2013, for applications in England, we will be merging the ownership and the agricultural certificates, to provide one combined certificate.

Before you submit your application, you will need to check the certificates section, answer the new question and you may be required to re-enter some of the information you previously entered.

Applications in Wales will still require ownership and agricultural holdings certificates to be completed separately.
