Change a licence
It is free to amend a licence but you must tell us about any changes to:
- the contact details of the licence holder or manager (including change of address)
- the number of people on your licence (we will need to carry out an inspection to check on room sizes and amenities)
To make a change to your licence email psh@welhat.gov.uk.
You can not transfer a licence and you will need to apply for a new licence if the licence holder changes.
