Unlicensed Shop Owners Can Apply to Regularise Status at Local Technology Centres

Owners of unlicensed commercial shops can apply for an operating licence through the technology centre serving their district or city, providing a route to bring their businesses into legal compliance.

The centres accept applications for public shop licences, making them the local point of contact for owners seeking to regularise their premises.

Shop owners looking to begin the process should approach the relevant district or city technology centre to submit a licensing request for their business activity.

The available information identifies where applications can be made but does not specify the required documents, fees or processing times. Applicants should check those requirements with the relevant centre before preparing their submissions.
