Transfer a premises licence
Sometimes it is necessary to change the actual holder of a premises licence. This might happen when, for example, a property is sold.
Applications need to be made by the new person or organisation taking on the licence.
Application forms and notices are available on the government website.
To transfer a licence, please send us:
- A completed transfer application form
- Transfer consent form agreeing to the transfer signed by the previous licence holder
- Your current licence (but please keep the accompanying plan of the premises)
- Your payment of the current fee (£23). Please note our online payment system below requires a debit card, credit cards are not accepted
Send to the police:
- a copy of all the documents above
- a completed police form (available to download below)
Police address:
Leicestershire Police, Force Licensing Department, Mansfield House, 74 Belgrave Gate, Leicester LE1 3GG or email licensing@leics.police.uk
Send to the Home Office:
