Completing a Single Application for Multiple License Types

This topic describes how to fill out a single application that includes multiple license types selected on the Apply page.

Note: This feature is available for Business Licenses only.

Overview

If your agency has enabled the option to enable applicants to select multiple business license types to apply for on the Apply page, you can use a single intake form to fill out and submit multiple license applications. With a single intake form, you can fill out information common to all the selected applications in a General Information section of the intake form, streamlining the application process.

Selecting License Types

On the Apply page, applicants can select multiple license types to include in the single intake form.

The number of license types selected is reflect in the Apply button.

Note: The order in which you select the license types determines the order in which they appear in the single intake form.

General Information

The General Information section appears at the top of the form navigation. This section contains the information that is common to all the selected license types. Entering common information here means you don't have to enter it for each license type.

Note: When the list of contacts is in the general information, contractor contacts that are added in the contractor section appear in the list of all contacts only after application submittal. This applies only to the origination application.

Review page

The Review page is where you can review and edit the information you've entered for a General Information section or an individual license type.

Selected license types

The licenses types you selected on the Apply page appear below the General Information section in the order you selected them. Fill out each license type application just as you would a standalone license type application.

Working with In-Process Applications Within a Single Intake Form

While you are working on a single intake form it's common to leave the form to gather information and return at a later time. Access the single intake form from your Applications list by clicking any of the pending license types you included in your single intake form.

When an inactive pending application expires, it is automatically removed from the group and set to a status of void.

You can't copy a pending application that's part of a single intake form.

Managing Submitted Applications

Once you submit a single intake form, you can't return to the single intake form and access your previously selected business license types. After submission, you manage each of the selected license applications separately. You can access the individual license types from the Transactions > Business Licenses page the same as a standalone application, where you'll pay fees, monitor, and update the license application as needed.
