Responsible Vendor License
A current Responsible Vendor (RV) permit is required to work in any booth serving alcohol at any Haus activity. We MUST have a copy of your permit on file BEFORE you can be scheduled. Old temporary or expired permits are not accepted — check your expiration date!
Bring a copy (paper or digital) with you when volunteering.
How to get your RV license on file at Deutsches Haus (Expand)
The Volunteer Coordinator needs a copy of your license to keep on file before scheduling can be done for any booth serving alcohol. Send an electronic copy of your ATC RV license to the Volunteer Coordinator via email, volunteer@deutscheshaus.org. Instructions to print a copy of the ATC license are below.
If you sent a license to the Volunteer Coordinator for a prior festival, you do not need to send it again (until it expires and you renew)
Also, keep a copy of your permit (on your phone or on a piece of paper) with you any day you come to volunteer at the Fest in case the ATC comes for a visit.
How to Print your Responsible Vendor (RV) License (Expand)
It takes up to 21 business days after a class is completed for the license to be up on the ATC website. Licenses from classes taken in past years are already available. (You may need to create an account on the Louisiana ATC website)

Lawn Team
We’re building a team of volunteers to help with weekly mowing, trimming, edging, and general yard care. The more hands we have, the easier (and faster) the job — and you’ll help save the Haus thousands in maintenance costs!
