When applying for an ACU license do you still need the passport photo to be sent in with the application

And is there anywhere I could download the application form.

You need to send a passport photo.

Form can be downloaded from ACU website.

As far as I know you still need photo. Link below for application form:

If your downloading the form, just put the photo, with name and d.O.B on the back of the photo INSIDE the letter (when it is folded up to go in the envolope).

Dont put it in the envolope by itself, otherwise they might not see it.

Thanks lads, all sorted just need to get past the ballot and then send her in :hat:

photo and a tenner should do it

what you doing about insurance ???

Are you not allowed to ride on an AMA license?

I would need an AMA international license, which requires you also have their medical insurance, they once had to fly a rider home to the USA for treatment so it is very expensive.

Being a British citizen I have access to the good old national health system,

bottom line it's a lot cheaper to join my old club and get a british license.

Is it ok applying for a licence if you dont live in England? - if so I am tempted to apply for one (as I am a member of Conset club but live in Scotland) - our very own SACU charge

So is it ok to ride Scottish trials on an English licence then? I too am a member of an English club but have not thought of getting a licence through them.

Never thought of it like that Boofont, has a brit, I did what was required to be legal to ride the scottish, if I was American I would have to go with the AMA!!!! because I'm a brit living in U.S. does it mean I have a choice? don't know but why ask why if the ACU license is cheeper

most Scottish event (SACU) are like open to centre events - only SACU riders can ride with SACU license

higher events - ie nationals - eg SSDT - you could but if you have an SACU licence why ????

for the English, welsh, IOM and channel island - you're ACU, you pay

as your a Brit you *should* be OK bodging, if you were a yank though.........

Should be ok bodging whats bodging about riding for your own country?

Maybe you could help me then, what country should a Englishman ride for?

Doug is Spanish champion, also spends a lot of time there, should he ride for Spain?

Me thinks you would be the first to p*** and moan if he did.

IIRC he is a tax exile in the isle of man ...... don't bother me where a rider rides, in mx riders either do GP or AMA series - dosen't effect their nationality or who they ride for in the MXDN

i say bodgeing as if you wanted to medievaced back stateside you'ld have to pay.......
