Owning a TV and Vehicle Radio requires a yearly license

This is a common misconception regarding TV License. MDA even had a pamphlet campaign regarding this information. Reference from MDA

  • Residential TV License
  • A TV License is required if you operate or have, on any premise you owned or occupied, TV sets or any equipment that is capable of receiving broadcasting services. Only one license is required for a house/unit regardless of how many TV sets it has.

    The TV License is valid for a calendar year, from 1 January to 31 December and is renewable on a yearly basis thereafter. The annual license fee is S$110.

    For new TV Licenses that are applied for in any part of the year after 1 January, the license fee payable will be pro-rated from the date of application to 31 December. If the TV License is taken up between 1 November and 31 December, the license fee payable will be pro-rated to 31 December of the following year, i.e. it will be inclusive of the following year's license fee as well. This is to minimize the inconvenience to license applicants.

Apply for your TV License here. Alternatively, you can apply for a TV License at any post office with your identity card or passport.

  • Vehicle Radio License
  • A Vehicle Radio License is required for any radio receiver installed in a vehicle. A new Vehicle Radio License, is valid for a period of one year from the date of application and is renewable on a half-yearly or yearly basis thereafter. The annual license fee payable for a Vehicle Radio License is S$27.

    You may apply and make payment for your Vehicle Radio License online by Credit /Debit Card (eNets Credit), Internet Banking (eNets Debit) or Flexipay.

Apply here for your Vehicle Radio License.  Alternatively, you may apply for a vehicle radio license at any post office with your identity card or passport. The Vehicle Radio License should be applied for in the name of the vehicle's registered owner.
