First application for registration of a bookmaking office

You will need to hold (or have applied for) a Bookmaker’s Licence before registering your bookmaking office(s).

You will need to submit the following to the National Excise Licence Office:

  • Completed Application Form.

The application requires signature by:

  • the licensee, if a sole trader
  • one of the partners, if a partnership
