“Liquor Licence Zimbabwe” is a process, not an organisation, so there is no single company or switchboard behind the name. Applying for a liquor licence in Zimbabwe is an application made to a licensing authority, and the requirements, fees and renewal dates are set out in that country’s liquor legislation.
ContactDetails.co.za is an independent directory. We could not verify the current contact details of the licensing authority on an official source, so we have not published a number. What follows is how the process works and what to be careful of.
How to approach it
- Establish which authority licenses liquor for the specific area where the premises are, because licensing is administered locally rather than from one national counter.
- Ask for the published fee schedule and the official receipt. A licence fee is paid to the authority and receipted by it.
- Expect the premises itself to be assessed, not just the applicant. Zoning, health and safety requirements usually apply alongside the licence.
- Keep every reference number and receipt. Renewals and objections both work from the original application record.
- A Zimbabwean liquor licence has nothing to do with South African liquor boards, and a South African licence has no standing in Zimbabwe.
The fee warning that matters most
Licensing processes attract people who offer to “arrange” or “speed up” an application for a fee. An official licence is issued by an authority against a published fee paid to that authority, not to an individual. If someone asks you to pay them personally, into a personal account, to secure a licence, that is not how licensing works anywhere.
How to check whether a business is real before you deal with it
This applies to any organisation you cannot verify, not only this one. None of it requires special tools, and working through it costs a few minutes against the cost of sending money to a stranger.
- Ask for the registered company name and registration number. A real business gives both without hesitation. Every country keeps a companies register, and a registration number is what lets you check it.
- Ask for a physical address and look at it. A street view that shows a residential house or an empty plot where an office should be tells you a great deal in seconds.
- Check the bank account name matches the business name. This is the single strongest signal. Payment into a personal account for a business transaction is the point at which most money is lost and the point after which it cannot be recovered.
- Be suspicious of a brand new or hidden web presence. A company that claims years of trading but has no traceable history is worth a second look.
- Pay by a traceable method. Instant transfers, cryptocurrency and money-transfer services are chosen by fraudsters precisely because the money cannot be reversed once it lands.
Paying across a border adds risk
A cross-border payment is harder to reverse than a domestic one, takes longer to trace, and falls between two sets of consumer rules. If something goes wrong with a payment from South Africa to Zimbabwe, neither country’s consumer body is likely to be a quick route to your money. Treat any request to pay across a border in advance, to an account you cannot verify, as the highest-risk version of an already risky transaction.
Why an unverified number is the dangerous option
When a name is hard to pin down, directory sites and search adverts fill the gap, and those are exactly the listings nobody checks. A number that cannot be traced to an official source is the single most common starting point for an impersonation scam, because the person answering can claim to be anyone.
- Nobody legitimate needs your PIN, your CVV, your online banking password or a one time PIN. Anyone asking for those is not who they say they are.
- Treat urgency as a warning sign. Pressure to act immediately, to install remote access software, or to move money to a “safe account” means end the call.
- If a caller claims to be from an organisation, hang up and reach it through a number you found yourself on its own website, not one the caller gave you.
- Never pay a deposit or a fee into a personal bank account for goods, a job, a loan or a licence.

Frequently asked questions
What is the contact number for Liquor Licence Zimbabwe?
There is no single number, because this is a licensing process rather than one organisation. We could not verify the current licensing authority’s details on an official source, so we have not published a number.
Can a South African office help with this?
No. This is a Zimbabwe process, and South African licensing authorities have no role in it.
Can ContactDetails.co.za apply on my behalf?
No. We are an independent directory and cannot act for you in any application.
