Renew or manage a racetrack operator licence

The AGCO will remind you by email or mail 60 days before your licence expires on December 31st. You must apply to renew your licence and submit the right fee before this expiry date. You can apply to renew your licence or authorization through the iAGCO portal.  

If the AGCO receives your application and fee(s) by the expiry date, we’ll send you confirmation of the receipt of your renewal application.

If the AGCO doesn’t receive your renewal application by the expiry date on your licence, your licence will expire.
