New On-Line Option Now Available For License Renewal As we approach the December 31st deadline for renewal of individual and business licenses, the Board has introduced a new option for licensees and establishments renewing early. The Board's licensing management system [iGov] which was implemented in April 2018 offers licensees and establishments a "one-stop" concept for renewal. By clicking on the link at the end of this article, licensees will be directed to the new iGov system which will allow access to a renewal and payment portal after logging in to the system. This portal is a streamlined, efficient and quick way for licensees to renew. It eliminates the need for licensees to first complete the renewal information and then go to another site for the on-line payment of fees. This new option combines completion of renewal information and payment in a single step, and is a quick way to renew on-line. The Board encourages licensees to take advantage of this new option and to renew their licenses prior to December 31st . The following link will direct licensees to the iGov log-in and then to the on-line renewal portal: https://ncbfs.igovsolution.com/renewal/renewal/renewallogin.aspx Michael ].
