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.

If your licence has expired:

  • 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
  • you cannot trade until the new licence is issued.

You cannot work if your licence has expired.

To find your property licence number and details, visit Verify NSW.
