General Contractor Registration Renewal

STEP 1: Renewal Application Submission

General Contractors must submit their renewal applications online. General Contractors that do not currently have an eFiling account will need to create an account by completing the registration form. If you already have an eFiling account, please proceed to STEP 2.


STEP 2: Upload Supporting Documentation

To complete the online renewal process, General Contractors must submit the following documents in PDF format via the DOB NOW Portal in the BIS Options section:

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

Required Documents

  • Original typewritten, notarized LIC6 application
  • Notarized statement, on company letterhead, indicating any changes to the company (i.e. new address) with the following required documents:
  • Telephone bill with company name, address, and business telephone number for business number changes (VOIP services will require a utility bill, bank statement, lease, or deed in the business name)
  • Utility Bill (electric, gas, water), bank statement, lease, or deed in the business name for address changes
  • If you have changed companies (business name only, same EIN#), you must include a certified copy of the Certificate of Amendment. (LIC6 application instructions)

NOTE: Company changes with new EIN numbers must reapply

  • Child Support Form
  • If there were Safety Registration (LIC7) endorsements added to the General Contractor registration, the renewal fee is $80.00 per endorsement or $130.00 per endorsement for late renewal (includes $80.00 endorsement renewal fee and $50.00 late fee – Construction Safety Registration endorsement is included in the standard renewal fee).

NOTE: To avoid a late fee, renewal applications must be submitted 30-90 days before the expiration date that is indicated on your license card. After a year you will have to reapply for the registration.

Renewal Fees

  • $240.00 – renewal fee (paid via the online portal)

Late Fees

  • $290.00 (this includes $240.00 renewal fee and $50.00 late fee; does not include fees for Safety Registration endorsements) – paid at the time of renewal via the online portal

STEP 3: Obtaining the Registration Card

You will receive your registration card by mail within 30 days of your approval. If you have not received it within 30 days, please contact licensingdob@buildings.nyc.gov for an update on your card status.
