| Application Forms - Important Note The Licensing Team is in the process of redesigning the application forms to make them consistent, easier to use and understand, as well as comply with Data Protection and Equality Standards. Please note that the forms are currently designed for either on-line completion or to be printed out and then completed manually. Word and .pdf formats area available. In parts, the Word forms have drop down options to the right of the relevant field, eg application type. Please ensure that the correct option is chosen. On-line submission to the Licensing Team is currently unavailable, but with the use of our interactive licensing web pages, it is hoped that members of the public will be able to create a personal client account and make on-line applications/manage their portfolio of Licences - to be phased in, commencing August/September 2007. |
