Personal Licence Holder Records
Records of personal licence holders and the Designated Premises Supervisor.
What this document covers
Every premises that sells alcohol must have a Designated Premises Supervisor (DPS) who holds a personal licence. This document records the DPS details, any other personal licence holders on staff, and ensures the licensing authority is notified of any changes.
Key sections included
- DPS details and licence copy
- Other personal licence holders
- Authority notification requirements
- Absence procedures
- Licence renewal tracking
Frequently asked questions
Can I sell alcohol if my DPS is on holiday?
Yes — the DPS doesn't need to be on the premises at all times. But they must have authorised alcohol sales, and the premises licence conditions must be met.
