Application Procedure for an Alcohol Licence in Kenya
Applicants who are interested in participating are required to obtain an Application Form from the NACADA website and formally submit it to the designated reception officer located within the legal department.
Subsequently, the NACADA Licencing Committee will convene to deliberate on the eligibility of an applicant for an import/export license.
Upon receiving approval from the committee, the applicant will be demanded to remit the necessary license fees.
“Only the applicants who have been approved and communicated to as such will be requested to pay the license fees,” traders were told.
“Once the license is ready for collection, the applicant shall be informed, upon which the same may be picked from the NACADA offices.”
