Introduction
If you've received a security licence renewal form, you can renew and pay online. There are 2 types of renewals:
- on-time renewal – on or before the licence expiry date
- late renewal – within 90 days of the licence expiry date and includes a late fee.
If it is more than 90 days after the expiry date on your licence, you'll need to submit a new application, and you cannot trade until your new licence is issued.
