The procedure for sending renewal reminders is changing. Instead of receiving individual renewal reminders for each MA and VHR 9 months in advance, you will now receive 1 reminder at the beginning of the year listing all MAs and VHRs due for renewal in the following calendar year.To start this new process, you will shortly receive a reminder listing all MAs and VHRs due for renewal in 2016.
Thereafter, in January 2016 you will receive a reminder listing all MAs and VHRs due for renewal in 2017. In January 2017 you will receive a reminder listing all MAs and VHRs due for renewal in 2018 and so forth.
Renewal applications should be submitted at least 6 months prior to the date of renewal.
If you do not wish to renew your MA and VHR, please email the VMD at: postmaster@vmd.defra.gsi.gov.uk and put Expiry of an MA in the subject line.
