What is a Personal Licence?
A Personal Licence allows a person to sell or authorise the sale of alcohol, within a licensed premise.
In order to apply for a Personal Licence, you must be over 18 and have the level 2 award for Personal Licence holders or the National Certificate of Personal Licence holders.
A Personal Licence holder must notify the Licensing Authority every time they move house, change their name, or they are convicted of a relevant offence. Failure to do so is an offence under the Licensing Act 2003 and subject to a fine, not exceeding £500.
