Publishing licence: Printing OS maps

To receive a quote and apply for a licence, please read the terms and conditions and complete our publishing licence request form.

We will respond with a quotation for your proposed publication(s) within two working days.

You will need to confirm your acceptance of the quotation before we can process your application.

If you want to publish a map which has been sourced from OS OpenData, you don’t need a publishing licence. There is a separate licence that covers the use of OS OpenData products.

The charges under this licence can be found in the publishing request form. The minimum licence fee is £47.50 plus VAT.

If you are producing a publication or merchandising product, the licence fee depends on the total amount of mapping reproduced and the number of copies printed.

Our product licence only covers a single publication. Reprints of a publication, reissues or further editions of a publication will require a new licence.

Mapping used on a website is restricted to 100 extracts of facsimile mapping (each extract being no larger than 200 cm 2 at original scale) or 3000 extracts of redrawn mapping (each extract being no larger than 100 cm 2 at original scale). There are no restrictions for merchandising products.
