Renew Your Alcohol Licence

Everything you need to know about renewing your alcohol licence

When to Renew On, Off or Club Licenses

If you have an existing licence, you must apply to renew it before the date it expires. If you let your licence expire you will need to apply for a whole new licence. 

After your first renewal one year after your licence is issued, your licence will need to be renewed every three years.

We will endeavour to send reminders when you are nearing your expiry date.
