How do you obtain a license in the state of Pennsylvania?

There are five (5) ways of obtaining a license.

• Visit Liquor License Auctioneer's webiste to see what Quota licenses are available.

• For a new license, an applicant must apply to the Board’s Bureau of Licensing for a new license. This may occur as a result of an opening in the quota, due to a legislative exception to the quota, or because there is no quota for the particular license.

• For a person-to-person transfer, an applicant must apply to have an existing license owned by another transferred to it for use at the same premises (change of ownership only).

• For a place-to-place transfer, an applicant must apply to have an existing license that it holds transferred to a different location (without changing its ownership).

• For a double transfer (person-to-person and place-to-place), an applicant must apply to have an existing license transferred to it for use at a different location (change of ownership and location of license).
