Applying for a Business License Amendment

Businesses can request changes to the recorded information on their business license and for their business by filing an amendment online. Agency staff and businesses can amend active business licenses for the types of licenses that are configured for amendments by the agency.

Amendments are only valid for the current license period and an amendment application must be fully processed before starting another one. You can also amend license information when you renew an existing license. The process for submitting a renewal application is similar to the process for amending a license. For more information, see Applying for a Business License Renewal.

Here’s the flow for amending a business license:

  1. Click the Action menu and select Amend.

    If the business license type is configured to allow amendments, this action is available unless the license already has a renewal or amendment in progress. You can start an application for an amendment by selecting the Amend action for a license in the business license list, on the Overview page of the license, or on the Business License page of the business.

  2. The amend action takes the applicant to the amendment application form for the business license type. Fill out and submit the form.

    The information from the current license application, which can be the license origination or a renewal, appears in the amendment application form. The tax attributes are also inherited from the license transaction being amended. You'll be able to update the fields that were designated for amendments in the intake form design. Select Show All to view the full application, including read-only fields that can’t be updated.

  3. Pay any required amendment fees.

  4. Agency staff accepts, reviews, and approves the amendment application.

The business license shows the amendment activity and status, such as submitted, pending, or completed, in the License Activity section of the Overview page and in the business license transaction list. After fees have been paid and the application is approved, the amended license is active. Any adjusted information for your business appears on the license and business pages after application processing is complete and the amendment is approved.
