IMPORTANT INFORMATION & CONDITIONS - PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE CONTINUING
IT IS THE STUDENT’S RESPONSIBILITY TO SEND A FULLY COMPLETED LICENCE APPLICATION FORM DIRECTLY TO THE LICENCE OFFICE.
New Licences – New licences must be obtained WITHIN 2-weeks of starting regular training (UK legal requirement). A new Licence/Membership will commence from the date application is received by the BWF Licence Office. By obtaining a British Wado Federation Licence you are agreeing that this is your only active karate licence – It is against International Sport-Karate Regulations to ‘double-licence’.
Family Members are discounted for 3 or more closed family units (immediate family with the same surname (parents & siblings) at the same address) and does not include distant relatives, aunts, uncles, cousins, etc. Family members must apply together on separate Licence Application Forms. Once a family has been issued with a ‘Family Licence Facility’ more family members can be added later @ £5 per additional member.

Applications from other organisations
Depending on origination (origin of style, certification, lineage, etc.) grades registered within your existing karate licence will be 'automatically' transferred to your new IWF Grade Book upon acceptance; please include scans of your previous (or present) Licence (or photocopy) for IWF records. You will be able to continue your grade commencement, once you are in receipt of your new licence and are fully conversant with the requirements for progression. Apply as New Licence.
Late Renewals
Firstly. It is the sole responsibility of the individual to keep their insurance, licence, and membership up to date and valid. Secondly. It is considered 'negligent' for an instructor to allow students to train without adequate insurance. You are placing yourself and your instructor at risk by training without insurance. Membership & Insurance will cease upon licence expiration.
