Cutting Red Tape: Governor Hochul Announces Launch Of Nation-leading “Click To Renew” Tool To Streamline Licensing For New York’s Small Businesses

Governor Kathy Hochul today announced the launch of Click to Renew, a nation-leading tool to simplify professional licensing across New York State. By launching an easy-to-use digital platform, Click to Renew allows New Yorkers in a wide range of licensed professions to renew their licenses quickly and securely. Since its soft launch in October, nearly 5,000 licensees have successfully renewed with this new system. On average, licensees using Click to Renew complete the process in under 4 minutes, a 91 percent reduction from the previous average renewal time of over 45 minutes.

As New York honors active and retired members of our military services, Governor Hochul today announced New York’s participation in the U.S. Department of Transportation’s “Even Exchange” program to provide opportunities for service members to put their military training to work as commercial drivers. Under the program, qualified applicants who have been trained and educated to operate heavy equipment and machinery in the military will be able to use that experience to demonstrate the necessary knowledge to qualify for a Commercial Driver License (CDL), bypassing the need for a DMV written permit test.
