Liquor License Practice Test

Which document is NOT required along with the application or renewal form for a license?

1. Photograph of exterior

2. Certificate of incorporation

3. List of current employees

4. Host responsibility policy

The correct answer is: List of current employees

The list of current employees is not typically a required document when applying for or renewing a liquor license. Licensing authorities generally focus on documentation that confirms the establishment's compliance with legal requirements and regulations for operating a licensed establishment. The photograph of the exterior allows the licensing body to assess the physical location’s suitability. The certificate of incorporation verifies the legal existence of the business entity applying for the license. A host responsibility policy demonstrates the establishment's commitment to promoting responsible alcohol service and consumption, which is a key consideration for licensing bodies. While employee lists may be important for internal management or compliance with labor laws, they are not usually mandated as part of the initial licensing or renewal process. This focuses the application on the operational aspects and regulatory compliance necessary for handling alcohol service rather than staffing specifics.
