Renew Your DCWP License

Approximately three months before your license expires, DCWP will mail you a license renewal package. View business types licensed by DCWP and their expiration dates.

You must renew your license before it expires in order to continue operating your business and avoid fines.

Note: On July 24, 2023, DCWP launched a new system to replace its prior online services and provide additional features for businesses, consumers, and workers.
