Renew My License
The deadline to renew 2024-2026 Fire Sprinkler Contractor Licenses was July 31, 2024. Licenses that were not renewed before the deadline are now lapsed. You may still renew your license with additional late fees until November 28, 2024. Information about late fees can be found in the "Renewal Fees" section below.
Prior to accessing the online renewal system, all licenses are required to have a current Certificate of Liability Insurance and current NICET certifications for all qualifying parties on file with the Board. Please submit this information via the Document Submission portal. Once your COI has been accepted, you will be able to complete the online renewal. Please allow board staff 5-7 business days to update this information in our system. Documents are processed in the order received.
To access the online renewal software or Document Submission, you must have a valid email on file with the Board. If you do not currently have an email address on file with the Board or you need to change your email address, please email the Board at contact.CLB@llr.sc.gov with your license name, license number, last 5 digits of your FEIN number and your current email address.

All licenses must be renewed separately by license credential number; however, the online renewal application process features a proxy payment link. This will enable the licensee to email a link to a third party for payment. For privacy and security purposes, the third party will only have access to information such as name, license type and number and payment amount. The licensee is responsible for following up with the proxy to ensure payment is made timely for their renewal.
