Renewal Timeline
Licensees are encouraged to renew early through their local authority. You'll receive a 70-day renewal notice from the Division. Some local authorities require renewal applications to be submitted 30 or 60 days before the license expires.
Renewal Information
All information entered on the previous year's license will be reflected on the renewal application. However, the renewal application contains some questions that need to be answered annually to determine whether or not the applicant and the premises meet licensing requirements. There are also opportunities on your renewal application to update the Department on any changes to your licensed premises or proof of control that may have occurred during the previous year.
Verified Application
Applicants are encouraged to complete their own applications. If another party completes the document, the applicant must verify the information before submitting it. An applicant may be denied a license if there is false or misrepresented information on the application.
Applicants with questions should contact their local authority or the Licensing team.
Some license types are eligible for the auto-renewal program. These include LE, CB, CV, CD, and DS. For more information, visit the automatic renewal program.
