Notify the Commission of a change of corporate control
Please make sure you read the guidance notes before you start to complete the application.
Changes of control must be reported as a key event as soon as reasonably practicable and in any event within 5 working days of the licensee becoming aware of the event’s occurrence.
Within 5 weeks of the change occurring, you must either surrender the licence or apply for the licence to continue to have effect or it may be revoked.
If you want to apply for the licence to continue to have effect, you must complete a Change of Corporate Control form, and pay the appropriate fee. You must email the completed form and supporting documents to licensing@gamblingcommission.gov.uk. Do not post them to us and do not email them to a Licensing team member email address.
Incoming individuals who have or are expected to become controller of the licensed operator, if not already approved by the Commission will be required to submit an Annex A or Personal Management Licence (PML) application.
Make sure you read the guidance notes on this page before you start to fill out the form.
Change of corporate control applications typically take around 12 weeks to process, providing full information is submitted.
