Good to know: Fee verified for a standard BARBER personal license (distinct from the $60 cosmetology/aesthetics/nail-tech personal renewal). A $3 service fee is added to all transactions, so the effective barber renewal charge is $83. The delinquent (late) fee for a barber personal license is a published range of $25-$75 rather than a single fixed amount, so late_fee_usd is null. Renewal is completed through the GLSuite licensing portal (azbocv7prod.glsuite.us); a new portal launched Feb 24, 2025 requiring a new account. Proof of U.S. citizenship/lawful presence and a passport-style photo are required.
