🔄 Change of Designated Premises Supervisor (DPS)

Fast, fully managed service – stay compliant without the stress

If you're the holder of a Premises Licence and need to change the named Designated Premises Supervisor (DPS), an official application must be submitted to your local licensing authority.

📌 When Is a DPS Change Required?

A change is necessary if:

• The current DPS has left the business

• You’re bringing in a new manager or supervisor

• You need to restructure responsibilities internally

⚠️ Alcohol cannot be sold legally unless a valid DPS is in place.

The new DPS must hold a valid Personal Licence.

⚙️ How It Works

The application to change a DPS can either:

• Take immediate effect (ideal for avoiding business disruption)

• Or start from a future specified date

🕐 If you request immediate effect, the new DPS can legally act in their role during the consultation period.

To process your DPS change, we’ll require:

📄 Original Premises Licence (must be returned)
