The designated premises supervisor (DPS) is responsible for
authorising the sale or supply of alcohol at a premises. That
individual must hold a
personal licence and only one DPS may be
named on a premises licence at any one time.
If the responsibility of being DPS needs to be given to another
individual for any reason (if the current DPS moves away from the
premises, for example) an application to vary the DPS will be
required.
A variation can only be made by the holder of the premises
licence or solicitors acting on their behalf. The consent of
the person who is to become the new DPS must also be given.
How to apply to vary a designated premises supervisor
Application and consent to transfer forms
(new window) are available from the Home Office
website.
Please note that application forms can be filled in
on a computer and printed off for submission but completed
forms must be signed and submitted to us as hard
copy.
If you want to fill in your application by hand, print out the
