Our phone lines and some online services are currently unavailable due to an issue with the air conditioning at our data centre. We are working to bring them back online as soon as possible.

Sex Shop, Cinema and Adult Entertainment Licensing

Apply and pay

You can apply and pay for a licence online. You’ll need:

  • an email address
  • a debit or credit card

What happens next

After you’ve applied for a licence, we’ll publish an advertisement in a local newspaper telling people that an application has been made within 7 days.

You’ll also need to display a notice on your premises stating that you’ve applied for a licence for 21 days after making your application.

If your application isn’t successful, we’ll write to you.
