In May and June 2025, the ATCC is transiting to a fully online license/permit process. You may continue to download the traditional application forms found below if you prefer to mail in the documents and payments, but we encourage the use of the online applications to speed up the process and provide real-time approvals.
- Applicants, current license and permit holders, and their representatives will soon be able to use the Maryland OneStop portal for obtaining and renewing alcohol and tobacco licenses and permits.
- Applications for all new alcohol and tobacco licenses and permits, as well as miscellaneous submissions such as Change of Address and Intent to Participate, will now have an online application process.
- All current paper forms have been consolidated into 10 applications.
- OneStop applications include mandatory fields and document uploads, to increase the ability of applicants to submit a full and complete application on the first attempt.
- Applications requiring attestations and signatures of multiple applicants include an automated routing process, whether you start the process as an applicant, or as an authorized representative submitting on behalf of the prospective license or permit holder. By entering their email address, they will receive a copy of the application to review and sign.
- Payments will be made through the OneStop portal, either by card payment or ACH, with confirmation notice by email and/or text message.
- All issued and renewed licenses and permits as of May 1st are sent by email from the ATCC Licensing Unit (atcc.licensing@maryland.gov), so please ensure that you check your inbox and junk mail for emails from the ATCC. Licenses and permits will no longer be mailed.
- If email is not a viable option for the applicant who submits via paper forms,note this issue on the paper application in the email address field with the text “no email.”
- Effective May 1, 2025 the licenses and permits have been redesigned to take advantage of the digital format.
- Digital documents are now acceptable as proof of holding a license or permit, when required to present a document upon demand, though facilities and events should continue to post the license or permit in a conspicuous place.
- Holders of Solicitor Permits and of Public Transportation Permits and associated Vehicle Identification may present a digital permit or printed permit. Both are to be considered equally valid.
- In the event there is a question as to the validity of any license or permit, the License & Permit Database on atcc.maryland.gov is updated daily and should be used as secondary verification.
The ATCC will be holding a Virtual Open House for any questions prior to June 1, and you are always welcome to email atcc.info@maryland.gov. Open house detail will be available soon.
