FAQs
How can I use OneStop to renew my liquor licence?
A few weeks before your liquor licence is due to expire, the primary owner of your licensed establishment will receive instructions for how to register with OneStop for this function.
The instructions will include a subscription code and authentication
question to ensure that only the primary owner (or authorized
representative) can access information about – or renew – your
liquor licence.
TOP
Can the primary owner assign responsibility for using OneStop to someone else?
Once the primary owner has registered, he or she may choose to delegate the authority for using OneStop (including the authority to renew a liquor licence) to others within the organization - such as an accountant or manager, for example, or both.

I have requested a change to my current liquor licence. Can I find out the status of my application through OneStop?
Yes. Once you are registered with OneStop for the liquor licence function (which happens when your current liquor licence comes up for renewal), you will be able to see the status of any changes you may have requested.
The status notes will tell you such things as whether your change is now complete, in progress, under review by your local government, etc., or whether you should contact the Liquor Licence Control and Licensing Branch or your local liquor compliance and enforcement officer for more information.

What is BCeID?
The British Columbia electronic Identifier (BCeID) is an online service offered through the Ministry of Labour and Citizens' Services that makes it possible for you to use your Login ID and password to sign in securely to any BCeID participating Government web site.
With a BCeID you can sign in to government participating sites using your BCeID and a single password so you don’t have to remember a different Login ID and password at every Web site.
With BCeID, you don’t need to enroll for a Login ID and password at each new site you visit - simply use the Login ID and password that you enrolled as your BCeID to sign in to any participating government site or service.
At this time, OneStop allows users to logon to the
Business Registration application with either a OneStop ID (created
by the user during their session), or a Business BCeID, while
the Business Address Change and Liquor Licence Renewals application
is Business BCeID users only. To determine if you will require
a Business BCeID, please review the next section, "Do I
need a Business BCeID?"
TOP
Do I need a Business BCeID?
You will need a Business BCeID if you:
- need to renew your liquor licence.
- Need to change your business address through the OneStop Change of Address application.
- Plan to access other government e-Services regularly.
For a complete list of government e-Services that use BCeID, visit the Online Service Directory.

How do I obtain a Business BCeID?
In order to get a Business BCeID, you will need to go to the BCeID website and apply for one directly. In order to verify who you are, you will be asked to authenticate yourself. If you have completed a registration of a Sole Proprietorship or General Partnership through OneStop's Business Registration application and you have received your Statement of Registration, you will be able to use your OneStop session to authenticate yourself and complete the verification process.
If you have not completed a Sole Proprietorship or General Partnership registration through OneStop, other options for authentication are available during the Business BCeID application process.
If you hold a Liquor Licence in British Columbia,
you will receive instructions in the mail. The instructions will
include a subscription code and authentication question to ensure
that only the primary owner (or authorized representative) can
access information about – or renew – your liquor
licence.
