Find out more about personal licences, what they are, who can apply and their significance. There are also links to guidance and information on how to apply, together with application forms. What do we mean by a Personal Licence? A personal licence is needed by an individual who wants to sell or supply, or authorise the sale/supply of alcohol at premises that already hold a premises licence. There are different rules for the supply of alcohol under a 'club premises certificate' or 'temporary event notice'. Personal licences are 'portable' between different premises throughout England and Wales and are valid for ten years; allowing a personal license holder to sell or authorise the sale of alcohol for consumption on or off any premises with a premises licence. Who can apply for a Personal Licence? Any individual may apply for a personal licence whether or not they have current employment or business interests associated with the use of the licence. However, a licensing authority will only grant a personal licence if: (a) the applicant is aged 18 or over;
(b) the applicant possesses a relevant licensing qualification or is a person of a prescribed description under the Act;
(c) the applicant has not forfeited a personal licence in the previous five years, beginning with the day the application was made; and,
(d) the applicant has not been convicted of any relevant offence. In addition, the applicant must not already hold another personal licence or have applied for a personal licence with this or any other licensing authority.
