Update your second-hand dealer or pawnbroker licence details
If your details change, you must update your licence. This might be to:
- add or remove places of business
- add new associates to your licence
- change any other business details.
Make the change
Place of business
You must advise us within 7 days if you change your registered place of business. You will need to fill out an approval form and submit it to us.
Fees apply for each new place. You don’t need to pay a fee to remove a place, but you will still need to pay for a replacement licence.
New associates
If you are adding an associate, you must notify us within 14 days. You will need to fill out an approval form and submit it to us.
You don’t need to pay a fee for adding an associate. However, you must still pay a criminal history check fee for each new associate to have a criminal history check.
You will need to attach identifying documents for each new associate. This must be 1 of the following 4 documents:
- Birth certificate or extract
- Citizenship certificate
- Passport
- Driver's licence
These will need to be:
- original copies if you submit in person
- certified copies if you submit by mail.
You can get a certified copy from:
- a Justice of the Peace (JP)
- a Commissioner of Declarations (C.dec)
- a notary public.
Associates don’t need their own licence to be in charge of one of your places of business.
Other changes
You don’t need a form or fee to make other changes. You must tell us in writing if you:
- update your postal address (within 7 days)
- change your home address (within 7 days)
- remove an associate (within 14 days).
Submit the application
You may only submit your changes:
- in person
- by mail.
If we approve your application, we will ask you to send your licence to us within 7 days. We will then send you an updated one.
