Interim Authority Notice
You must submit an Interim Authority Notice if a premises licence holder dies, becomes insolvent or becomes mentally incapable. An Interim Authority Notice will allow premises to trade until the licence can be transferred.
If you're applying as an individual, you must also provide proof that you have the right to work in the UK and are not subject to a condition preventing you from doing work relating to the licensable activity - this is applicable to all individual applicants, including those born in the UK. If you do not submit your proof document or share code, we cannot process your application.
