Effective immediately, beginning with the 2012 license year, the LUMVC will begin the process of moving all licensees to a two (2) year license. The Commission’s goal is by the 2013 licensing year, all LUMVC licensees will be on the two (2) year licensing schedule. This has been implemented due to our commitment to getting our licensees renewed in a more timely fashion and at the request of licensees.

The state has been divided into five (5) geographic mapping districts. Please refer to the State of Louisiana Territory Map below; the map illustrates how the parish in which your business is domiciled is assigned to those districts.  To accomplish the Commission’s goal, the five (5) districts have been divided into two (2) groups; District 1, 2, 3 and District 4, 5.  During the 2012 licensing year, Districts 1, 2, and 3 will be licensed for a one (1) year license expiring December 31, 2012.  In the 2013 license year, these districts will be licensed again but this time for a two year license expiring December 31, 2014. During the 2012 licensing year, Districts 4 and 5 will be licensed for a two year license expiring December 31, 2013. The next renewal period for Districts 4 and 5 will be license year 2014.  Since Districts 4 and 5 are beginning the 2 year process, the fee will reflect the two (2) year period (payment will be for license years 2012 and 2013). All salesman licenses in all districts will renew for one (1) year.
