NOTICE
A license certificate can be amended at any time if there’s been any form of change to the license holder’s details (entity/individual etc.).
When there is a majority change of ownership within the licensed entity an amendment is not applicable and therefore a new application must be lodged.
Renewals shall be submitted one calendar month before the expiration date of the License. If the registration is not renewed within the time required, a grace period of two (2) months after expiry will be granted with penalties included. If the registration is still not paid after the grace period, the license will be canceled.
