Licenceholders may apply to us for permission to copy from a work, up to the amount of copying agreed in advance of the delivery of the work. For your application to be successful we must be able to show that you have purchased the work, but it is not yet available for you to copy, such as an order and delivery confirmation from the supplier.

Applications are subject to approval and a quote will be provided.  This service is accessible through the MyCopyright Licence Portal.

This service is available for these licence types: universities, institutes of technology/polytechnics, wānanga.
