Connecticut State Department of Consumer Protection

To protect the health and safety of the public and our employees, DCP has limited on-site staffing at 450 Columbus Blvd. While mail and phone calls will be processed as quickly as possible, we recommend using our online services, or sending an email to the appropriate division/person instead. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Liquor Control Division

The Liquor Control Division will begin emailing annual renewal notices to permittees beginning January 1, 2022. Notices will be sent to the email address associated with the eLicense account for the credential about a month in advance.
 
***IMPORTANT MESSAGE***
Please be advised that due to precautions still being taken to protect our staff, there may be a delay in reviewing all liquor applications which are received by regular mail, including express mail.   You may drop off applications at the ground level (G-3) Department of Consumer Protection mail slot.  We have limited staff on site, if any, and in-person conferences and meetings are still being significantly impacted.  Please do not attempt to enter the building and meet with our staff unless and until you have a confirmed appointment with a specific person.
 

If you have questions concerning your permit application and its status, please verify it online at https://elicense.ct.gov using your assigned credential number. Our general telephone number is (860) 713-6200.  You may leave a message and our staff will respond.  There may be a delay.  Please provide a name and return phone number and a general description on the nature of your inquiry. Email inquiries, including complaints, may also be sent to dcp.liquorcontrol@ct.gov

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation as we move forward together in this challenging atmosphere.

Sincerely,

Director M. Caitlin Anderson
