How to renew

  • When you create your MyMassGov account to access eLIPSE the first time, eLIPSE will ask you to enter information to help it locate your license and link it to your MyMassGov account.  

    • Please read the Linking Your License guide before creating your account to ensure it is linked correctly. 

  • Applications, renewals, and reinstatements must be submitted online through the eLIPSE platform.
  • You will be asked to submit all required documents via the eLIPSE platform, including a DOL CORI form. Once submitted, you will be notified of any required next steps.
  • Payment will also be made via the eLIPSE platform. 
  • For instructions on managing your licenses and permits, view the DOL eLIPSE How-to-Guides.
  • Incomplete applications will be held open for 180 days from the date of application receipt to allow applicants to provide the missing information or documentation. After 180 days, the incomplete application will be considered abandoned, and applicants will need to submit a new application and payment.
