  • one month before expiry, a reminder is sent by email

If you would like to continue to receive courtesy reminders for any licences you hold, then you must provide your mobile phone number and email address and keep these details up to date.

You can update your details:

    Building Services Board 
  • Plumbing Licensing
    Plumbers Licensing Board

You will no longer receive renewal reminders if you do not provide electronic contact details for your licence, permit or registration. You are reminded that it is your responsibility to ensure your licence is current at all times you are performing regulated work.

If you hold more than one type of licence and are updating your details through the online system, then you can update all of them at the same time.
