MALVERN HILLS PERSONAL LICENCE APPLICATION CALL JOHNNY WALKER 07970 134 730

Call me Johnny Walker on 07970 134 730 to find out how to obtain a Personal Licence in the Malvern area, without the tears. I have a 99% examination pass rate. WoooHooo…….. Call for a chat about how it all works and will be pleased to answer your questions.

A Personal Licence permits the holder to authorise the sale of alcohol from a premises that is licensed for the sale of alcohol by retail such as a pub, off-licence or supermarket in Malvern and the Malvern Hills area.

If you sell or supply alcohol or supervise the selling of alcohol you will require a Personal Licence. You don’t need a personal licence to be employed in a pub or business that sells alcohol.

Premises licensed to sell alcohol must have a Designated Premises Supervisor (DPS), who holds a Personal Licence. Anyone who does not hold a Personal Licence must be authorised to sell alcohol by a Personal Licence holder. There is no such requirement for the supply of alcohol in a members’ club.

To apply for a Personal Licence applicants must complete and submit the application to Licensing, Malvern Hills District Council, The Council House, Avenue Road, Malvern, Worcestershire, WR14 3AF.

  • Personal Licence application form
  • Disclosure of Convictions and Declaration form
  • Original certificate of the accredited licensing qualification, such as the Highfield Level II certificate
  • Criminal conviction certificate, DBS certificate or PNC check.
  • Please note that the date of issue of the certificate or searches must be within one calendar month of the date of the Licensing Authority receiving the application. 
  • Fee of £37
  • 2 passport type photographs, one of which must be endorsed by a solicitor, notary, person of standing in the community or any professionally qualified person with a statement verifying that the photograph is a true likeness of the applicant
  • Proof of right to work and live in the UK.

If you disagree with the licensing committee’s decision to refuse you a Personal Licence because of criminal convictions, you can appeal to your local magistrates’ court. You must do this within 21 days.

If you change either your name or address you must notify the licensing authority that originally issued your Personal Licence, as soon as reasonably practicable. Your licence must be returned with the notification and a new licence will be issued. The Fee for this is £10.50 and this fee must be paid before the details are changed and a new Personal Licence is issued.

Wherever in England and Wales you may now decide to live, your licence will be issued or renewed by the licensing authority that originally issued the Personal Licence.

Failure to notify a change of address is an offence. The Licensing Authority is required to update your Personal Licence whenever a change is required as a result of a notification from you or a court. The licensing authority will require you to produce your licence within a period of 14 days. Failure to provide your licence to the Licensing Authority is an offence. (b) You must provide your personal licence for examination by a police officer or an authorised officer of the Licensing Authority whenever you are engaged in the supply or sale of alcohol. Failure to produce the licence for examination is an offence.

Where you personal licence has been lost, stolen, damaged or destroyed, you may apply to the Licensing Authority for a copy of the licence. A fee is payable for this service.

If you wish to surrender your personal licence you must return the licence to the licensing authority, Malvern Hills, with a signed letter stating that you wish to surrender the licence.

If you appear in court on a charge relating to a relevant offence, you must produce your licence to the court. If you cannot produce your licence, you must notify the court that you are a Personal Licence holder.  If you are informed that you have been granted a Personal Licence after your first appearance in court, you must inform the court at the next hearing that you are now a Personal Licence holder.  

The court will notify the licensing authority of your conviction. You are also required to notify the licensing authoity of any convictions for a relevant offence. The notification must provide the nature and date of conviction and the sentence imposed. Your Personal Licence must be returned with the notification. Failure to make this notification is an offence.
