WHOLESALE
LIQUOR LICENSING

WHAT IS A WHOLESALE LIQUOR LICENSE?

A national liquor licence in South Africa is formally known as a registration and it authorises a business to manufacture and/or distribute liquor on a wholesale level. Unlike retail liquor licences, it does not permit the sale of liquor directly to the public, and a registrant may supply liquor only to other licensed businesses. These registrations allow operations across provincial borders but remain limited to within the borders of South Africa.

These registrations are administered by the National Liquor Authority (NLA), which falls under the Department of Trade, Industry and Competition (DTIC). The NLA is responsible for processing applications, issuing registrations, and ensuring compliance with national liquor legislation

TYPES OF WHOLESALE LIQUOR LICENSES

A national license permitting the purchase, storage, and supply of alcoholic beverages to licensed businesses, not end consumers.

A national license authorizing large-scale production of alcoholic beverages beyond micro-manufacturing volumes for lawful distribution and sale.

A national license allowing both large-scale production and distribution of alcoholic beverages within one authorized operation.

A national approval permitting extra storage facilities for alcoholic beverages, ensuring compliance with storage capacity and regulatory requirements.
