Manual SPS renewal process

SPS Applications Department,
Chartered Institute for Securities & Investment,
20 Fenchurch Street,
London EC3M 3BY
SPS Renewal Form
Please note there is a £25 administration fee for processing manual renewal applications. The £25 administration fee is waived for any applicant that is applying for a Basic SPS due to statutory leave or applicants where this option has been waived by the CISI due to extenuating circumstances. Please note it is the responsibility of advisers to ensure they apply for their SPS renewal before their current SPS expires. We will accept SPS applications up to 2 months before your SPS expires.
Applicants will receive notification via email when the CISI has received the application form. If you have sent your form to the CISI and you have not received email confirmation of receipt within five working days please contact us.
Processing Timescales
The standard processing timescale for all SPS applications is up to fifteen working days from the date of receipt. If the applicant requires additional RDR specialist areas to be added to their SPS approval, then this application will take an additional ten working days to process. Please note that you can, and are advised to, apply for additions to your specialist areas in advance of renewing your SPS application wherever possible.
