Manager's certificate renewal form

You need to renew your manager's certificate before it expires to keep working at a licensed business. If you don't, you'll have to apply for a new one.

We recommend you submit your renewal at least 20 working days before your current certificate expires.

You must renew your manager's certificate: 

  • 12 months after it's first issued 
  • every 3 years after that before the expiry date.

To renew your certificate, you must be:

  • currently employed at a licensed premises in Palmerston North
  • intending to start work at a licensed premises in Palmerston North (if you've got a certificate from another council).

Please note, we no longer require you to complete a questionnaire for managers or book a pre-lodgement meeting.
