Sale and Supply of Alcohol Act 2012

Sale and supply of alcohol generally - Licensing generally, requirements on licensees, and conditions - Endorsed licences for BYO restaurants, auctioneers, and caterers

40: Off-licences for remote sellers of alcohol

You could also call this:

"Selling alcohol from a distance: special rules for online sellers"

When you apply for an off-licence to sell alcohol from a distance, you can ask for it to be endorsed. The licensing authority or committee will endorse your off-licence if you ask for it. They will do this when they decide to give you the off-licence.

If your off-licence is endorsed, some rules do not apply to you. These rules are in sections 56 and 57. This means you do not have to follow those rules when you sell alcohol with an endorsed off-licence.
