Personal Licences

A personal licence is required to authorise the sale of alcohol in any premises - including pubs, off-licences, restaurants and hotels. Premises operating under a club premises certificate do not require a personal licence holder. You can apply for a personal licence to the council for the area in which you live. This will then be the council responsible for continuing to licence you, even if you move away from the area.

To get a personal licence you must:

be over 18
not have any relevant criminal convictions as spelt out in the Act
obtain a basic criminal record disclosure
possess an accredited licensing qualification
pay the required fee

Personal licences will be valid for 10 years. There will be various duties on holders of personal licences, and the court can forfeit their licence if they are convicted of various offences.

The police will have the right in any case to object to an application for a personal licence on the ground of crime prevention if someone has a relevant criminal conviction.
