License Lookup (LQS) Formerly known as the License Query System (LQS), the license lookup service provides information about applicants and licensed individuals and businesses that are regulated by the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control. All licenses may be renewed by paying the required renewal fee before the license expires. Following the expiration of a license, the licensee may legally operate for an additional 60 days during which time the license may be renewed by paying the renewal fee and a 50% penalty.
