Personal licences

Introduction

A Personal Licence is a portable licence granted to an individual enabling him/her to authorise the sale of alcohol at premises, which are licensed for the sale of alcohol.

This does not apply to sales that take place at premises, which hold a Club Premises Licence, or premises operating under a Temporary Event Notice.

Applications for a Personal Licence must be made to the Council in whose district the applicant lives.

The licence is valid for a period of 10 years.

More than one Personal Licence Holder can work at the same premises. Applicants may also choose to become a Personal Licence Holder if they wish to apply for more then five Temporary Event Notices a year, but otherwise would not require one.
