    How to Prepare for Your License Renewal

    Planning Ahead for Your License Renewal

    Your liquor license renewal is an important process that requires careful preparation. By planning ahead and gathering the necessary documentation, you can ensure a smooth renewal process.

    When to Start

    We recommend starting your renewal preparation at least 3 months before your license expiry date. This gives you plenty of time to:

    • Gather all required documents
    • Address any compliance issues
    • Complete any necessary training updates
    • Prepare your application

    Documents You'll Need

    Make sure you have the following ready:

    • Current license details
    • Updated floor plans (if there have been any changes)
    • Staff training records
    • Host responsibility policy
    • Building compliance documentation

    Common Issues to Address

    Before submitting your renewal, check that you have:

    • No outstanding fees or infringements
    • All required signage displayed correctly
    • Up-to-date manager's certificates for duty managers
    • Current food safety records (if applicable)
