The District of Columbia Department of Licensing and Consumer Protection (DLCP) states that effective August 1, 2025, Basic Business Licenses are valid from the date of issuance to the last day of the same month two or four years later (depending on license term). Compliance teams managing vendor business license portfolios in DC should adjust renewal tracking and customer/vendor onboarding timelines to reflect the new validity/expiration convention.
