  • Decal/Sticker (Pedicab, Sightseeing Bus, Horse Drawn Cab): $25
  • DCWP License: There is no fee for license replacement.

IMPORTANT: If you are a General Vendor and your license is lost or stolen, you must first file a report with the NYPD, then submit the “lost property incident slip” or complaint number to DCWP. Your DCWP license number must be on the report.
