What age must a person be to hold a personal licence?

To hold a personal licence, an individual must be at least 18 years old. This age requirement is in place to ensure that those responsible for the sale and supply of alcohol are legally recognized adults, capable of understanding and adhering to the laws and regulations governing the responsible service of alcohol. The minimum age is important for protecting public health and safety, as well as ensuring that licensees have the maturity to manage alcohol-related responsibilities effectively.

Other age options, such as 16 or 21 years old, do not align with the established legal framework for personal licences. The option that states there is no age requirement overlooks the necessity of age as a critical factor in licensing laws to maintain responsible alcohol service practices.
