The Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs (DCCA) is reminding persons hosting or participating in events where alcohol will be sold that they must apply for liquor licences online at https://liquorlicence.gov.bb.
Persons may request a Special Occasion Liquor Licence if alcohol is being retailed for a period of 24 hours or less, or a Seasonal Liquor Licence, which covers a 90-day period, and can be used at various locations.
Payments may be made online through EZpay+ via the person’s liquor licence account, or at post offices islandwide. For timely approval, persons should apply for their licences at least four working days before the event.
Those who need assistance applying for a licence should call the Liquor Licence Authority of the DCCA at 535-7019, 535-7011, 535-7015, or 535-7042. They may also visit the Authority, located at the Energy Division, Country Road, St. Michael.
