Personal licence


A personal licence holder’s responsibility is to authorise the sale and supply of alcohol, and to make sure the licensed premises you’re employed at is operating within the law.

You don’t need a personal licence to be employed at a pub or a business that sells alcohol, but the designated premises supervisor has to authorise anyone who doesn’t have a personal licence to sell alcohol. Anyone can apply for the licence but you must be aged 18 or over and have a personal licence qualification.
