Sale and Supply of Alcohol Act 2012

Sale and supply of alcohol generally - Licensing generally, requirements on licensees, and conditions - Miscellaneous licensing provisions

68: Licensees and managers to have address for service

You could also call this:

“People selling alcohol must give an address where they can get important papers.”

If you have a licence to sell alcohol or you are a manager, you must tell the licensing authority your address for service. You need to do this as soon as you change your address. Your old address is still okay until you give them your new one. If someone needs to send you a notice or document about the Sale and Supply of Alcohol Act, they can send it to your address for service, leave it there, or give it to you directly. If they send it by post, it is considered served when it would normally be delivered, as long as they can prove they sent it to the right address. You can also check the s 223 section for more information.
