Misplaced your licence?

Previously if any of your licences had been lost or stolen you would have to get a 'lost property number' from the police before you could get a replacement from the Council. This applies to your personal licence, premises licence or club premises certificate.

As of today (26^th May 2015) this is no more, all you are required to do is request a new one from the council where you originally applied (there may be a charge for this). This should be done promptly as there is a requirement to produce your licence at a request from either a Licensing Officer or Police Officer.

This is one of a number of changes brought in by the Deregulation Act 2015 that looks to reduce unnecessary administration.
