A Personal Licence allows the holder to authorise the sale or supply of alcohol in a venue or property which has a premises licence. The Personal Licence is separate from the Premises Licence which authorises the premises to be used for the supply of alcohol and other licensable activities.

Personal licences are issued by the Local Authority where a person is normally resident and renewed by the same authority irrespective of where the licence holder is resident at the time of renewal. You may only hold one Personal Licence at any time, which will be valid for the whole of your lifetime, but may be revoked if you are convicted of a relevant criminal offence, have to pay an immigration penalty, or are found to have given incorrect or misleading information in your application.

You must have the legal right to work in the UK in order to hold a Personal Licence, proof of which will be required with the application. Licences will also lapse automatically if your right to work in the UK expires or comes to an end. UK nationals also have to demonstrate that they have the right to work in the UK, a copy of your UK passport is sufficient.

Personal Licences are not tied to a specific premises, This  means that holders of a Personal Licence can authorise sales of alcohol in all venues which have a premises licence, throughout England and Wales. This allows for greater flexibility for personal licence holders, and permits the movement of individuals from one premises to another.

In order to apply for a Personal Licence you must be over the age of 18 years and have obtained the Level 2 award for Personal Licence Holders. I deliver the Highfield award, this is recognised by all licensing authorities in England and Wales. This one- day course will explain the rules of selling alcohol. At the end of the course, candidates will sit a 40 question exam paper. This is a multi choice answer paper. I have a 99% exam pass rate. You will be in very safe hands. Call me, Johnny Walker,  on 07970 134 730.

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.

If the applicant has relevant convictions the licensing section will notify the police licensing section who will be given 14 days to make an objection to the application. Should the police not object to the application, the Personal Licence will be granted. If the police do object then the applicant will be informed and invited to a licensing sub-committee hearing to determine whether the licence may be granted.
