Home Displaying a licence

Under the Licensing Act 2003, there are several statutory requirements that a licence holder must comply with in relation to keeping and displaying a licence.  Failure to comply with these requirements is an offence for which you are liable on conviction to a fine of up to £500.

How to display your licence?

The holder of the premises licence must ensure that the licence or a certified copy of it is kept at the premises in the custody or under the control of the holder of the licence or another nominated person.  The licence holder, or nominated person, must ensure that the summary of the licence or a certified copy of that summary are prominently displayed at the premises.

How to manage your licence?

You are required to:

  • keep a certified copy of the licence at the licensed premises at all times
  • ensure that the licence is looked after by the licence holder, or a responsible person nominated by the licence holder
  • make sure that a nominated person is specified in a notice that must be prominently displayed at the premises
  • produce a licence or certified copy on the request of the Police or an Authorised Officer
  • display a certified copy, or summary, of the licence at the premises at all times.
