Renew A License/Registration

Attention:

  • We experienced online system issues in February that impacted the ability to submit applications and/or payments.
  • Many of those issues have been resolved; however, there remain issues related to the ability to create an online account. 
  • If you encounter this problem, we ask that you try the following steps:
    • If using a laptop or desktop, please try using a different browser.
    • If using a laptop or desktop, and switching to a different browser doesn’t work, please try creating an account using your cellphone.
      • If neither of these strategies work, please try again later as our vendor is working to get this issue resolved as soon as possible.
  • We are NOT able to accept applications or payments by phone, mail, or in person.
  • We apologize for the inconvenience.


How to Renew a DCJS Registration or License

Note: If your registration is expired, you will to need to create a new initial application, NOT a renewal application.

Step 1: Application

Create an account or login to your existing account to renew your license or registration.

Step 2: Fingerprints

Most renewal applications do not require fingerprints to be submitted. Those who are required to submit fingerprints each renewal cycle are:

  • Armored Car Personnel, Bail Bondsmen and Bail Enforcement Agents, SCOPs, and Tow Truck Drivers

Step 3: Training

All registrations and licenses issued by DCJS require in-service training for each renewal (except for Tow Truck Drivers).

  • Many renewal in-service trainings can be done online. Check if your license or registration category has an online in-service training option: click here.
  • Specific training requirements of each program: go to the main page and select your program under the “Licenses, Regulations and Certifications” box.
  • Search for training schools in your area: click here.  Choose the training you need under “Category” and enter your location in the “City” field.
