Licensing Online
Swindon Borough Council has introduced a new, convenient service which enables you to download Licence Application Forms and to make payments for your licence or registration online. Follow the link to Licence List to select the licence type for which you wish to apply or pay.
Online Payments
The online payment service is secure and easy to use. We will take you step by step through each transaction. Where the processing of the licence is not limited by consultations or inspections, we will send the licence or confirmation to you by post within five full working days.
Who Can Use This Service
You can download an application form:
- If you are sure that you understand how the particular licensing system affects you.
- Provided that you already have all the documents you need, ready and up-to-date.
- Whether you are a solicitor, an agent, a business owner or the person nominated by a committee.
You should not use the online service:
- If you are not sure whether you need a licence at all or which one you need.
- If the policy of the Council or the fine print of the legislation bars you from making an application.
What You Will Need to Hand
The pages for individual licence applications will give you full details of what you will need to have available. in general though, you will need the following:
- your debit card
- any supporting documents mentioned on the application form.
- addresses for your Head Office, your solicitor etc.
- in some cases, the quantities of goods stored.
Licence List
The following is a list of applications for which a licence may be required. When you click on a link for a particular licence type, you will be directed to a page that gives you some general information and guidance about the licence and will provide links to download an application form (with are in pdf format) and to pay for the licence online. If you have any difficulty in launching these links, please e-mail the Swindon Borough Council Licensing Team at licensing@swindon.gov.uk.
