What's New?

BC Liquor Control and Licensing Branch Services
Now Available Through OneStop!

In July 2006, the BC Liquor Control and Licensing Branch partnered with the OneStop Business Registry to save owners of licensed establishments time and effort by enabling them to renew and view the status of their liquor licence online using the OneStop e-service.

Today, we are pleased to announce two additional online services as a result of this partnership!

Restaurant owners can now apply online for their food-primary liquor licence.  A food-primary licence for a restaurant is where the service of food, as opposed to liquor, is the primary focus of the business.  Whether opening a new restaurant or buying an existing one, application for the food-primary liquor licence in both situations can be done online through OneStop.

Existing food-primary liquor licensees who are planning to sell their business can also use OneStop to complete the agreement to transfer their establishment to the new owner.

The Liquor Control and Licensing Branch plans further ground-breaking initiatives in partnership with OneStop over the next several years.
