If you already have an eFiling account, please proceed to Step 2.

Step 2: Upload Supporting Documentation

To complete the online renewal process, Safety Registration Number registrants must submit the following documents in PDF format within the BIS Options section via the DOB NOW Portal:

*NOTE: See the Licensing Renewal Application User Guide for Step-by-Step directions.*

Required documents include

    • Utility bill (electric, gas, water), bank statement, lease or deed in the business name for address changes
    • Certificate of Assumed Name and Filing Receipt if the business name has changed (business name only, same EIN#), you must also provide appropriate business documents as listed in the Safety Registration Number Guide.
