TV LICENSE

The payment of TV licence is a legal obligation. Failure to comply may result in prosecution. The Namibian Broadcasting Act No. 9 of 1991 spells out the consequences of non-compliance, which include (upon conviction) the imposition of a fine and/or imprisonment as well as the confiscation by the State of any television set in connection with or by means of which the offence was committed. Further measures at the disposal of the nbc are the switching off of decoders and blacklisting.

Licence fees are payable in advance.
Renewals must be made annually before the licence expires.
All licences expire on the 30 September of any given year.
Forgetting to renew your TV licence means a penalty of 10% per month to a maximum of 100% per annum.

TV licence payments can be made at any nbc office, NamPost or Nictus branch. Payments can also be made via direct deposits or EFTs. The nbc banking details for TV licences are as follows:

Bank: First National Bank of Namibia
Corporate Branch, Windhoek
