BFI British Certification & Expenditure Credits

Please login or register an account to make a new application or manage an existing submission for British Certification of a film, high-end television programme, animation programme, children's TV programme, or video game, to access the UK Creative Sector Expenditure Credits. 

If you already have an interim film certificate and your film started principal photography on or after 1 April 2024 you can find the Upgrade to Enhanced AVEC application form here.

If you had an account on our old system you will still need to register for a new account. As this is a completely new system to previous, you are unable to access any applications submitted through the old system.

For further information and help please visit our FAQ page here or please email certifications@bfi.org.uk or telephone on 020 7957 5490 if you have any queries.

Please note that our turnaround time is 14 to 16 weeks from receiving your application to issuing a certificate, we would encourage productions and companies to build these longer timeframes into their schedules when applying for the cultural tests.
