Renewing a Licence
90-Day Carry-over
Application Forms and Guides

Effective July 3, 2001, the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) is responsible for regulating and licensing Liquor Delivery Services. Under the Liquor Licence Act, Ontario Regulation 718/90 (as amended), Liquor Delivery Services are required to be licensed, including those that were previously authorized by the Liquor Control Board of Ontario (LCBO). A Liquor Delivery Service licence permits the delivery of liquor to the public for a fee.

Liquor may only be delivered to a residence and must be purchased from a government store operated by the LCBO or Brewers Retail Inc. The liquor delivery service licence-holder may only deliver liquor as an agent for another person who is legally (i.e., 19 years or older) entitled to purchase liquor. Liquor must not be purchased before receiving an order from a person who is legally entitled to purchase liquor.

A Liquor Delivery Service licence-holder is subject to advertising and promotion regulations and guidelines.

If the applicant is a corporation, partnership or sole proprietorship, its business trade (operating) name must be registered with the Companies and Personal Property Security Branch. Also note that corporations must file updated information with respect to officers and directors of a corporation with the Companies and Personal Property Security Branch on a regular basis. For information and forms, please click here. Forms must be forwarded to Companies and Personal Property Security Branch for processing.

Renewing a Licence    back

A new liquor delivery licence is valid for two years. Renewals are valid for three years.

A renewal notice and application form will be mailed to the licensee by the AGCO, as a courtesy, 60 days prior to the expiry date shown on the licence. The licensee must return the completed renewal form and the appropriate licensing fees payable to the Ministry of Finance, prior to the expiry date.

It is your responsibility for renewing your licence. Failure to file the renewal application and fee prior to the expiry date, means that you cannot deliver liquor until you have applied for and received a new Liquor Delivery Licence.

90-Day Carry-over    back

A 90-Day Carryover allows a transfer applicant to operate a liquor delivery service until the licence is transferred into the applicant's name, the 90 days are up, the licence expires, or the AGCO refuses the transfer, whichever comes first.

During the 90-day period, both the current liquor delivery service licence-holder and the transfer applicant are responsible for the delivery of liquor to residences in accordance with the Liquor Licence Act and Regulations.

The 90-Day Carry-over agreement must be submitted to the AGCO with the transfer application, and appropriate licensing fee.
