NLIS Channel licenses are issued by Land Data. The aim is for all companies, regardless of size, to be able to connect electronically to authoritative data providers including local authorities, the Coal Authority, and HM Land Registry via the NLIS network. 

Currently, we offer two ways to connect to the NLIS Hub.  The first option is to interface directly with the NLIS Hub which does require a Channel licence or you can connect via one of the existing NLIS Channels,  this second option does not require a licence.  

The benefits of becoming an NLIS Channel licensee are clear and will enable you to: 

• Draw down authoritative data directly from over 380 data providers
• Partner with the only regulated data hub in the market
• Add credibility through association with recognised and trusted data providers
