  • Applicants selecting the Manufacturer’s Licence, for example, will choose their applicable core activity from three licence types (Brewery, Winery or Distillery). They can also add secondary or additional activities by selecting from five endorsements.

To apply for, and manage, your AGCO licence, endorsement or permit, go online to the iAGCO portal. For more information, see the iAGCO Information page.

Note: The LLCA also provides for a Licence to Operate as a Wholesaler category; however, the regulation provides that the Registrar shall not issue this licence.
