Renew or restore a conveyancer licence – corporation

Introduction

If your company holds a corporation conveyancer licence a renewal notice will be emailed to you approximately 60 days before the licence expires. You can then renew your licence online before the due date.

If the licence has expired:

• within 90 days after the licence expiry date, you can apply to restore the licence – you need to pay the restoration fee
• more than 90 days past the expiry date, you need to reapply for the licence.

You cannot do legal work for property transactions in NSW if your licence has expired.

Change of details

You can update the email address and the primary contact mobile number when you renew online. If other details need to be updated, refer to change the details on a conveyancer licence.

Eligibility

To be eligible to renew:

• you must be a director or company secretary of the corporation
• at least one director must hold a conveyancer licence – you can check a conveyancer licence number and details at Verify NSW
• the corporation must be considered fit and proper to hold a licence and not be disqualified.

Insurance

Licensed conveyancers must be covered by an approved policy of professional indemnity insurance when they work. A licensee can take out their own insurance policy or they may be covered by their employer’s policy.
