Request an age rating for a film
How to request an age rating for an unclassified film or to reclassify a film.
Film classification is the process of giving age ratings and content advice to films and other audio-visual content. This helps children and families choose what’s right for them and avoid what’s not.
We can give an age rating to a film that does not already have one.
If a film has not been classified by the BBFC, it must not be shown in public until it has been classified it. A typical example of this would be a locally made film to be shown at a local film festival.
How to apply for a classification
If you're a film maker or promoter, you can apply to either:
- the British Board for Film Classification (BBFC)
- the local authority for the area where the film is being shown
We can accept the following film formats:
- MP4
- TS
- AVI
