Licences are renewed online. We will email you a renewal reminder prior to when your current licence expires. This email will contain your unique reference number that you need to renew. It will also contain the online renewal link and a list of documents that you will need to upload. You will be able to pay the fee at the end of the online form.
It is your responsibility to renew your licence. If you believe that your licence is due for renewal, but you have not received an email from us please contact licensing@stroud.gov.uk .
Renewals submitted after the expiry date will not be accepted and you will need to make a new application. Once your licence has expired you should cease to engage in using that licence with immediate effect. If you continue to do so you will be acting illegally and liable to prosecution.
