How to get license from Magistrates

[JTBmum]

Hi guys,

New query. Ds is 16 but year 11, so needs license and chaperone (me!) for filming abroad. Camden have said I need to apply to the Magistrates Court for this. Previously it went through them. Any idea which court and what is involved and how long it takes? We have until October 7th

Thanks a lot

Yr agent should do this for you itsa bow street Magistrates court that deels with this it used to be near the west end but have a feeling it has moved might be wrong ds had to get this done andf it was a agent who did this so talk to them or the production company. You need about 2 weeks nottice I think it was such a long time ago when ds filmed abroad

My dd had one recently from City of Westminster Magistrates court. I think they may issue them for the whole country but not sure. They asked that you made an appointment approx 3 days before leaving the country to appear in court and that all information is with them 7 days before this date. The information they required was similar to that required for UK licenses and they have an info package they will send you. They did say they would accept applications from parents, agents or production companies. In my dd case the production company sorted it out. I have a contact and number which I can pm if you want.

i think it depends where you live - http://www.bbc.co.uk/filmnetwork/filmma ... agreements which magistartes court you go to - and i have a nasty feeling each one may appply different rules, tho i can't find a link on that atm

wrt chaperones - i imagine that would depend on the rules of the country your child will be filming in - last time i looked at it, in america for example, young people had to be chaperoned up to the age of 18 - though america does treat young people as children a lot longer than we do in many ways
