Licence Renewal

We manage renewal calendars, applications and conditions so your licences and assignments never expire unnoticed.

Individual licences must be renewed by application before they expire, with MCMC expecting renewal applications no later than six months ahead. Class licence registrations and apparatus assignments have their own cycles. We track every date, prepare each renewal and keep your operations continuous.

What it covers

  • Renewal calendar covering every licence, registration and assignment you hold
  • Individual licence renewal applications submitted within MCMC’s window
  • Class licence registration renewals
  • Apparatus assignment renewals and fee reconciliation
  • Updating licence details after changes in shareholding, address or services
  • Continuity advice while a renewal decision is pending

Who needs this

  • Licensees approaching expiry in the next 12 months
  • Companies holding many assignments across multiple sites
  • Businesses that have changed ownership, name or scope since licensing
  • Operators that have previously missed a renewal

FAQ

Questions about licence renewal

When should I start a renewal?

For individual licences, MCMC expects the application no later than six months before expiry. We start earlier to allow for queries.

Can I keep operating while the renewal is pending?

Where the application was submitted in time and is awaiting the Minister’s decision, licensees can generally continue operating; we help you evidence that. Do not rely on this for late applications.

What if the company has changed since the licence was granted?

Changes in shareholding, control, address or services may need to be notified or approved. We check this as part of every renewal.
