Victorian liquor licence renewal notices will soon be distributed for the 2017 trading year.
Licensees will now have the option to register for an eLicence and receive their licence by email once payment is received.
Liquor licence renewals fees are due by 31 December 2016. Please read your renewal notice carefully to ensure you pay correctly. Each licence incurs a different fee depending on individual categories and conditions.
Liquor licensees can register for eLicence following three simple steps.
Licensees who receive their 2017 liquor licence prior to 1 January 2017 must continue to display their 2016 licence up to and including 31 December 2016.
For licensees who do not register for an eLicence, licences will be mailed-out from late February onwards. Licensees must continue to display their 2016 licence until their 2017 licence arrives.
There are ways that licensees may be able to reduce the annual renewal fee. This varies depending on the individual licence.
Applications to reduce or waive a renewal fee should be lodged prior to 31 December 2016. Information about reducing or waiving renewal fees can be found on our website at Reduce or waive renewal fee.

Please ensure you have the most up-to-date signage by checking the keycode (located in the bottom left-hand corner of the poster) against the keycode listed on the liquor signage page of our website.
