Introduction

If you hold an individual property licence, a renewal notice will be emailed to you prior to your licence expiry date. You will then be able to renew your licence online.

You can renew or restore an individual property licence online — this is generally the fastest and cheapest way to apply.

Note: You cannot work if your licence has expired and you have not submitted an application to renew or restore your licence.

If your licence has expired

What you can do depends on the expiry date:

  • within 3 months of the licence expiry date, you can apply to restore your licence – you'll need to pay a restoration fee
  • more than 3 months of the expiry date, you'll need to apply for a new licence.

Note: You cannot trade until the new licence is issued.
