Apply to transfer a premises licence

Information about how to apply to transfer a premises licence can be found here.

To transfer a premises licence, you will need to complete an application form.

The application form should also include:

  • the appropriate fee,
  • a consent form signed by the existing licence holder,
  • a copy of the premises licence, and
  • proof of your entitlement to work in the UK.

For premises selling alcohol, a person will need to be specified on the form as the Designated Premises Supervisor. You may wish to apply to specify a new designated premises supervisor at the same time as applying to transfer.
