Your right to work in the UK will be checked as part of your licensing application. You will be required to bring original documents, such as a passport or biometric residence permit, so that the check can take place. You will be advised further in this matter before a licence is issued. If there are restrictions on the length of time you may work in the UK, your licence will not be issued for any longer than this period. In such circumstances the check will be repeated each time you apply to renew or extend your licence, If, during this period, you are disqualified from holding a licence because you have not complied with the UK’s immigration laws. your licence will lapse and you must return it to the licensing authority. Failure to do so is a criminal offence.

• The disclosure of a criminal record or other information will not debar you from gaining a licence unless we consider that the conviction renders you unsuitable.
