Important Information – Please Read

• Be sure to enter the correct license number. Submitting a renewal payment with incorrect information will delay the processing of the license renewal(s). To verify the license information, use the License Search web page.
• Report a name or address change online (automotive repair dealers / inspectors and technicians). Use the License Search web page to verify the changes have been made before attempting to submit an online license renewal payment. NOTE: Name and address change requests do not extend a license expiration date.
• Payments for automotive repair dealer and station licenses must be submitted within 90 days of the license expiration date. Payments received more than 90 days in advance of the expiration date will be refunded and the license will not be renewed.
• If a license renewal payment was recently mailed, please allow sufficient processing time (2-4 weeks) before submitting a second payment using the online license renewal payment system. If you proceed with submitting a second renewal payment, be advised that refund processing time is approximately 4-8 weeks.
• After an online license renewal payment is made, no further action is necessary. BAR will verify that all renewal requirements have been met, and the payment has been processed. If additional information is needed to process the renewal(s), notifications will be sent. The renewed license(s) will be sent to the address of record and can be printed online.

The business cannot be licensed as a Vehicle safety systems inspection station and a Test-Only Smog Check station at the same physical address.
