Use pre-filled forms

The more information you share with us, the better your experience will be using the online portal.

To access pre-filled forms, select the form you want to use from the tiles on the online portal home page. The forms you can choose from include:

  • Liquor or gaming individual renewal application

Verifying your identity to connect with your LGFT record

You'll then be asked to give more identification documents to connect your identity with our records. Follow the instructions as you complete the online form.

Once you've taken the step to connect your identity with our records:

  • your forms will be pre-filled with your details
  • you won't need to submit any further identification documents unless something changes.

This will save you time and effort.

Using forms that aren't pre-filled

You don't have to use a QLD digital ID (i.e. a QGov account or myGovID) to submit a form online. You can choose to submit a 'public form' instead. You'll still be able to complete it online, but the difference is your details won't be pre-filled.

To do it this way, select the form you want to use from the tiles on the online portal. Then select the Public form button.

New applicants will need to provide 100 points of ID from the documents in this list. One must be a primary document and at least one must show your photo and one your signature.

  • government issued proof of age card

Make sure your name (or online reference number, if you have one) is clearly marked on each document.

Once you submit the form, you can't upload further documents. Instead, you'll have to email them to: OLGRLicensing@justice.qld.gov.au. Include your name and online reference number in the email.
