What is a Personal Licence?
Personal Licences are needed to supervise the sale of alcohol in premises including pubs, off-licences, restaurants, hotels, and supermarkets etc .
An applicant can apply for a Personal Licence for the area in which they live. If the applicant moves area the Licence is "portable" which means the Personal Licence will 'travel' with the applicant. A Personal Licence is valid for 10 years and must be renewed by the originating Licensing Authority, i.e. the Licensing Authority you first obtained the licence from.
There will be various duties on holders of Personal Licences and a court can seek forfeiture of a licence if the licensee is convicted of various relevant offences listed in the Licensing Act 2003.
To apply for a licence you must be:
- Over 18 years of age
- Not have any relevant criminal convictions as spelt out in the Act
- Possess an approved Licensing qualification
- Pay the required fee
Consultation with all responsible authorities should be encouraged prior to the submission of the application. Applications for new personal licences or for variation of licences must be submitted to the Licensing Authority and copied to the police
