Recent changes to the arrangements for Sporting Licences for World Records and international competitions mean that having the sticker in the BPA Licence book is no longer sufficient. Details of all Sporting Licence holders will now be verified against the FAI Sporting Licence Database, and absence from the database will result in ineligibility to participate in the chosen event.

To ensure inclusion in the FAI Database, a completed Form 110 together with payment should be sent directly to BPA HQ (applications submitted through a PTO may result in delay). BPA HQ will process the application and forward the details to RAeC, which will then submit them to FAI for upload to the database.

We recommend that this is done at least four weeks before the event in which you wish to take part. See www.fai.org/sporting-licences for more details.
