Viewing a Summary of Business License Activity

You view a summary of activity for a business license on the summary page. Here you get a snapshot of the business license application details, with links to more information about the workflow and fees and payments.

The summary is updated to show the latest transaction activity associated with the business license.

Header Information

The left side of the header displays the address of the business location, along with the Doing Business As detail.

  • If the business is physically located within the agency’s jurisdiction, the address is displayed in the header of the summary page and in the Overview page of the business license.

  • If the business location is outside the agency’s jurisdiction, which includes mobile businesses, then the header displays the address from the business details page.

The right side of the header displays:

  • The license activity

  • The business license number with a link to the access the business license page. This link is available only after the license is issued, and not available when the license activity is in the origination status.

  • The type of the license application.

  • The license status.

The header also shows the physical location on a map.

Tip: As agency staff, you can also assign a specialist on the summary page. Both agency staff and the applicant can add a description of the application.
