Interim authority notice on a licensed premises
A premises licence will lapse if the licence holder:

- becomes bankrupt
An interim authority will reinstate the premises licence from the time the notice is received. The person giving the notice will become the licence holder.
What you need to provide
The interim authority notice must be made within 28 days of the licence lapsing so that the premises can continue to trade.
A transfer of premises licence must take place within 3 months. If not, the licence will lapse again.
Apply
The notice will last for 12 months. If you want to be told of any changes after 12 months, you will need to complete and return the form again.
