About the DC Department of Licensing and Consumer Protection (DLCP)
The published forms associated with the DC Department of Licensing and Consumer Protection span several distinct areas. Business licensing documents include the Basic Business License application and related affidavits, inspection materials, and an approval statement. These are different from the business-entity filings, which cover matters such as forming a domestic LLC or corporation, amending its records, registering a foreign entity, and documenting dissolution or withdrawal. The titles indicate a range of entity types, including nonprofit corporations, partnerships, cooperatives, and statutory trusts.
Other groups in the current collection include professional education reporting forms, course and instructor applications, and documents for particular licensed activities. Examples include home improvement contracts and bonds, towing and used-car-lot bonds, a goods repair license application, short-term rental attestations, and combat-sports permits and agreements. These titles describe different document purposes; a bond, for example, is not the same kind of filing as an application, report, or contract.
This page reflects forms currently listed in the catalog, not necessarily every document issued by DLCP. Before using a form, check the department’s current instructions for the applicable version, fees, deadlines, supporting materials, and submission method. Those details can matter especially for entity filings, license applications, and documents tied to a particular trade or activity.
