Licensing - Applications for an interim authority notice

You can submit an interim authority notice if you are the owner of, or an employee of, a licensed premises where the currently named premises licence holder:

• has died suddenly
• has become insolvent
• is judged mentally incapable

The interim authority notice prevents an existing premises licence from lapsing, and effectively reinstates an existing premises licence.

If you submit the interim authority notice, you will become the licence holder.

The forms to make an application for an interim authority notice are only available from the GOV.UK website which gives guidance on the application procedure including  payment of application fees.
