Five Easy Steps to File Your Newsstand
License Renewal Application Online:

Step 1:  Log on  

• Enter your CAMIS Number (located in your license renewal letter) and Individual License Number on the first screen of DCA’s Online License Renewal Service to get started. If you don't know your CAMIS number, please call 311 and ask for the service "Online Payment Assistance-DCA License Renewal." You will be transferred to DCA.

Step 2:  Confirm Your License Details and Contact Information  

• If your telephone number is different from the number in the License Details box, enter the correct telephone number in the “New Telephone No.” field.
• Enter your email address to receive confirmation that your online license renewal application was successfully submitted.
• If your mailing address is different from the address preprinted, select “No” and update your mailing address following the steps provided.

Step 3:  Answer All Background Questions and Affirm Legal Requirements

• Complete the background questions by checking the appropriate boxes.
• If you are the licensee, affirm the legal requirements and enter your First and Last names in the "Licensee" fields.
• If you are preparing the renewal application for the licensee, affirm the legal requirements, enter the licensee's First and Last names in the "Licensee" fields, and enter your First and Last names in the "Preparer" fields.  In addition, please specify your relationship to the licensee.

Step 4:  Submit Information and Enter Payment Details

• Please review all information for accuracy, then click the "Submit" button ONCE ONLY. You will be directed to the payment page.

Step 5:  Print Confirmation Number and Itemized Receipt
