Submitting an Application for a Manufacturer's Licence
First, you will need a manufacturer's licence application package. You can print each of the individual pieces from this website, or you can request copies by mail from Liquor Control and Licensing Branch Head Office (call toll-free, 1-866-209-2111). The package contains:
A completed application package will include:
- completed application form
- completed criminal record search forms (see Criminal Record Search)
- all required documentation (see Documents required)
- ask your local government planning department for written confirmation that local zoning allows a manufacturing facility (and retail sales, if applicable) at your proposed location (you will also need approvals from fire/building authorities — for more information see Local government or other approvals)
- application fee (see Manufacturer’s licence fees)
- mail the entire package to branch headquarters in Victoria (the address is on the application form).
