Discontinuation of Manual Radio Communications Licence Applications

The Botswana Communications Regulatory Authority (‘‘BOCRA’’ or ‘‘The Authority’’) informs the public that it has developed an online self-service platform that allows prospective and existing Licensees to apply for Radio Communications Licences (RCL’s) remotely. Applicants can access this online service platform via the BOCRA website at “www.bocra.org,bw” and explore the ‘WebCp Licence Application’ function to execute the following;

i. Submit new applications
ii. Submit applications for addition of new equipment to the existing licence
iii. View Licence

The public is therefore notified that BOCRA will no longer accept manual applications for Radio Communications Licences or for addition of new equipment to the existing licence starting from 1st October 2021.

However, application for substitution/replacement of equipment shall be submitted in writing to:

BOCRA Chief Executive
Private Bag 00495
Gaborone

Applications may also be hand delivered to the:

BOCRA Head Office  
Plot 50671
Independence Avenue 
Gaborone
