🍷 Personal and Premises Licences in Nottingham

How to Get Licensed to Sell Alcohol in Nottingham

If you’re launching a licensed business in Nottingham — from an off-licence near the Lace Market to an online alcohol delivery service — you’ll need to apply for both a Personal Licence and a Premises Licence.

A Personal Licence is required by the individual who will authorise alcohol sales, and must be obtained from the council where you live.
A Premises Licence is required for the Nottingham address where alcohol will be stored or dispatched, and must be obtained from Nottingham City Council.

Every alcohol-selling premises must have a Designated Premises Supervisor (DPS) who holds a valid Personal Licence.
You’ll also need to complete the Level 2 Award for Personal Licence Holders (APLH) before applying.

  • Personal Licence application form

Selling Alcohol Online from Nottingham

If you dispatch alcohol from a Nottingham location — even your home — the law requires that address to be licensed.

According to the Licensing Act 2003, a sale occurs where alcohol is picked and packed, not online.

✅ You must have a Premises Licence for:

  • 🏠 Home dispatch operations

  • 🏢 Warehouses, shops, or fulfilment centres

❌ You do not need one for:

  • Websites or app interfaces

  • Offices that handle admin only

🛒 Online platforms like eBay and Amazon often require you to hold your own Personal and Premises Licences — even if they fulfil your orders.
