Business licence renewal in Falkland Islands (Islas Malvinas)

How to renew a business licence — how it works anywhere

Written from published rules on 2 September 2026. Not monitored for changes since. A starting point, not official advice — confirm anything that matters with The Treasury, Falkland Islands Government. Rules here vary, so check carefully.

Renewing a business licence in the Falkland Islands involves submitting an application to the Treasury department for assessment. The process ensures that all business details remain current and that statutory obligations are met for continued operation.

Your timing

It is generally recommended to submit renewal applications at least one month before the current licence expires to allow for administrative processing and to ensure no interruption to business operations.

Start 30 days ahead

Allowing 30 days accounts for internal processing times and potential delays in documentation verification.

The process

  1. 1Obtain the official business licence renewal application form from the Falkland Islands Government Treasury office.
  2. 2Complete the application form with accurate and up-to-date business information.
  3. 3Ensure all outstanding local tax obligations are settled, as these are often checked during the renewal process.
  4. 4Submit the completed application along with the required fee to the Treasury.
  5. 5Collect or receive the renewed licence once the application has been processed and approved.

What to bring

  • Completed business licence application form
