Personal Licenses

A Personal Licence authorises an individual to supply alcohol, or authorise the supply of alcohol, in accordance with a Premises Licence. The supply authorised by a Personal Licence includes the sale of alcohol by retail.

Personal Licences are indefinite unless surrendered, suspended, or declared forfeit by the courts.

If we grant your licence, Stoke-on-Trent City Council becomes your ‘relevant licensing authority’ even though you may move out of the area or take employment elsewhere.

If you have any specific questions e-mail: hcp.licensing@stoke.gov.uk.

For each premise that holds a Premise Licence, the licence holder must specify a Personal Licence holder as the Designated Premises Supervisor, who takes responsibility for the premises.
