1. Check Renewal Eligibility
Renewal Timing: Licenses must be renewed annually. Renewal notices are sent before the expiration date. Ensure your contact details are current with CBS to receive timely notifications.
Renewal Online: You can renew your license online via the CBS Renewal Portal by providing your license number and client identification number.
2. Gather Required Documents
License Details: Keep your existing license number handy.
Police Clearance: If applicable, provide a National Police Certificate (NPC) dated within the past year. Certain exemptions may apply, such as if you have recently submitted an NPC to CBS.
Insurance: Ensure you have a valid building indemnity insurance certificate for domestic projects costing $12,000 or more and requiring council approval.
3. Pay Renewal Fees
