The Authority to Carry Scheme and Civil Penalties Regulations 2023
These Regulations bring into force the Authority to Carry Scheme 2023 (“the Scheme”) which replaces the Authority to Carry Scheme 2021. The Scheme requires that a carrier must seek authority to carry persons on inbound or outbound journeys to and from the UK who come within the scope of the Scheme. The Scheme specifies the classes of carriers to which it applies, the passengers and crew in respect of whom authority must be requested and sets out the process for carriers to request authority to carry.
