This service now has permission to launch on a GOV.UK service domain with a beta banner. These instructions explain how to set up your *.service.gov.uk domain.

The service must pass a live assessment before:

  • turning off a legacy service

  • reducing the team’s resources to a ‘business as usual’ level, or

  • removing the ‘beta’ banner from the service
