Licence Renewal Tracker
PDF
3 record sheets

A pub holds more than a dozen licences, permits and certificates from six or seven bodies, each renewing on its own cycle, and the manager who knows the dates eventually leaves. The premises licence annual fee suspends the licence if missed; the gas certificate closes the kitchen; the TV and music licences bring an enforcement visit; a lapsed SIA badge on the door is a licence breach. This free tracker lists every document a hospitality venue typically holds, with the issuing body and the normal renewal cycle already filled in, so the job is writing in your references and dates rather than remembering what exists. A second sheet does the same for the certificates that belong to people rather than the building.

What's in the PDF

1

Premises Licences, Permits and Certificates

Pre-filled with the documents a hospitality venue typically holds. Strike what you do not hold; add what is missing. Columns: Document · Issuing Body · Renewal Cycle · Reference · Expiry / Fee Date · Lead Time · Owner · Kept Where.

2

Staff Licences and Certificates

One line per person per certificate. A lapsed certificate on a person is a gap on the premises. Columns: Staff Name · Certificate · Issuing Body · Reference · Date Issued · Expiry · Renewal Action · Checked By.

3

Monthly Review (60-Day Horizon)

Columns: Review Date · Expiring in Next 60 Days · Action Started? · Owner · Notes · Reviewed By.

Why you need this

Non-payment of the premises licence annual fee suspends the licence and stops alcohol sales the same day
The gas safety certificate, electrical report and fire system certificates are what the insurer asks for after a claim
TheMusicLicence and the TV licence are enforced by visit, and unlicensed use is pursued for the fee plus damages or a criminal fine
Personal licences, SIA badges, first aid and food hygiene certificates lapse on people, and a lapse is a gap on the premises

What's included

Premises tracker pre-filled with 20 licences, permits, certificates and registrations: issuing body and renewal cycle for each
Columns for reference number, date issued, expiry or fee date, renewal lead time, owner and where the certificate is kept
Staff certificates tracker: personal licences, SIA, first aid, food hygiene levels, allergen and fire warden training
Monthly review sheet with a 60-day horizon so renewals that need an inspection or a course start in time

How to use this template

1

Cross out what you do not hold and add what is missing

Not every venue has gaming machines or a pavement licence. Strike those lines and add anything specific to you, such as a lift or a pressure system.

2

Find the reference and date for every line

The premises licence, TheMusicLicence certificate, the TV licence, the gas certificate: pull each from the file or the issuing body and write the reference, the date and the expiry.

3

Set a lead time and an owner

A renewal that needs an engineer visit or a course needs six to eight weeks; a fee needs one. Name the person who owns each.

4

Review monthly with a 60-day horizon

Once a month, list everything expiring in the next 60 days on the review sheet and start it. Sign the review so the routine is evidenced.

Tips for getting the most from this template

Diarise the premises licence anniversary before anything else; it is the one that stops trading
Keep the certificates themselves in one folder or one digital location and write that location on the tracker
Put staff certificates on the tracker as well as the HR file; a lapsed SIA badge is a licence condition breach, not just an HR issue
When a manager leaves, the tracker is the handover document; when they join, it is the induction
Paddl tracks every licence and certificate against the location and the person, and reminds the owner before the lead time runs out
