This application transfers ownership of a premises licence from one person or company to another.

If another person or company is taking over your premises, the licence will need to be transferred to them. You will need to sign a consent form for them to take over the licence.

If the previous holder is deceased or uncontactable please note this on the consent form.

The person or company taking over the premises should then complete the online application and submit it together with the signed consent form and a fee of £23.

Please note that in some cases, e.g. where the holder is also the Designated Premises Supervisor, a transfer may also mean a change in DPS. In these cases, once your have submitted your transfer application, please apply to vary the DPS here.
