I came here to get some information about renewing a business license. Can you answer me a few questions about renewing it by mail?
================
Of course. You can renew it by mail, for example. We will send you a Facility Renewal Application VS-2. Simply complete the application and send it with a check for your renewal fee to.
Did you NOT receive your application by mail?
Yes, I didn't receive any application by mail.
Then you should call the Office of Vehicle Safety and Clean Air at 1-518-474-0919.
================
Will do. Can I also renew the license early, before it runs out?
Yes, you can renew if the facility certificate Inspection Station license will expire within the next 60 days.
================
That's good to know. What can you tell me about the license period?
All business registrations and Inspection Station licenses are valid for 2 years.
================
And what if the license is expired?
You can renew if the facility certificate or Inspection Station license expired within the last six months.
================
There's another problem. I have been charged as guilty for commiting a crime, which I didn't do. Does this pose a problem when renewing my license?
In that case complete the Facility Renewal Application VS-2 and a Statement of Ownership and/or Permission to Use Place of Business (VS-19) and send it to us by mail.
================
But I could renew it right away, before it is expired, right?
Correct. You can renew it if the facility certificate Inspection Station license will expire within the next 60 days.
