The instructions below will help you access the Temporary Auction Permit. Please note that this application will be accepted online only.
Step 1: Create eLicense account. To complete this application, you must be signed into eLicense using an account registered to backer (the auctioneer). In other words, when you set up the eLicense account, you must use the auctioneer’s name, include their business information and should selected the “individual” option. (Note: If you previously created an eLicense account in the auctioneer’s name, you may utilize that account which may reduce the amount of information you need to enter.)
To set up an account, visit www.eLicense.ct.gov. Click “Register.”
On the next screen, select “Individual.”
On the next screen, you will enter your account information. This will require you to create a user ID and password, and enter an email address. This information is important. This email address will be primary way the Department communicates about your application and the email address tied to the final permit, if issued. Choose an email address that is frequently checked and will continue to be monitored after the application period. Please maintain the user ID and password for future use, too. (Note: If you would like an attorney or consultant to receive information about your application, there will be an opportunity to enter their contact information when you fill out the application. Do notenter that information here.)
Next, you will enter the information about the auctioneer, including name and address. This should be the address used by the auctioneer for all tax and business purposes; it may be different than the venue for the auction.
Finally, complete the Captcha and click “create account.”
Step 2. Verify your account. The first time you log into eLicense utilizing your account, you’ll need to verify the account and the email address provided.
Step 3. Access the application. After you are fully logged in, you may start your application.
Click on the “Online Services” menu in the top right of the screen.
From the drop down menu, select “Initial Application.”
You will come to the online applications screen. (First photo) Scroll until you see “Liquor-Retail Permits,” and click the down arrow. (Second photo).
Click on the link for “Temporary Auction Permit.” You will enter the application and can begin filling it out.
Note that you do not have to complete the application all at once. You may save your work and come back to it. Simply follow the instructions above (“Online Services” -- “Initial Application”) and when you come to the main online application screen, you will see a link to your pending application.
