If You Want a Liquor Licence

In British Columbia, each liquor licence class has its own eligibility requirements and its own licence terms and conditions, outlined in the Liquor Control and Licensing Act and Regulations.

This section of the web site explains eligibility requirements and what you will need to do to apply for a liquor licence in each licence class, the application process followed by the Liquor Control and Licensing Branch, and what your responsibilities will be once you receive your licence.

For information about applying to make or import non-beverage alcohol, see Rules for making or importing non-beverage alcohol.
