Applying for a Licence
You can apply online for many licences, registrations and permits. Most licences will require you to Sign-in with an existing user-id, or register a new account. Fishing licence is the only exception. A user dashboard allows you to save an incomplete application and complete it at your convenience.
All licence applications that have associated fees accept payment via credit card, and a receipt with a PDF copy of the application is e-mailed to you after lodgement. The time to process a licence application lodged online may vary depending on the licence type.
This facility is currently available to some licences, and an effort is underway to provide more licence applications and related business processes online.
Renewing a licence
You can lodge a renewal for most licence online. Renewal requires you to enter a licence number and a renewal number. These are usually printed on your renewal notice. You can amend your contact details and other information at the time of renewal lodgement.
All online renewals accept payment via credit card, and a receipt is provided after the transaction. The time to process a licence renewal lodged online may vary depending on the licence type.
