Executive Order 118-ABC Guidance. All on-premise sales and consumption must stop. See ANNOUNCEMENTS for more information.
Registrations and Renewals: Due to the State of Emergency declared by Governor Cooper, ABC Chairman A.D. “ Zander” Guy has established a grace period for the registration/renewal process until June 30, 2020. We sincerely hope this will help during this trying time.
The NC ABC Commission is open. However, in response to the current State of Emergency declaration, our on-site staffing is very limited. We are encouraging you to submit your permit applications via mail (4307 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-4307) instead of in-person, as well as submitting your questions/inquiries to contact@abc.nc.gov instead of calling. If you have product approval applications, they can also be submitted electronically to contact@abc.nc.gov.
If you choose to visit the Commission building in-person, your permit renewal or application packages will be received in a secure lockbox at the ABC Commission door. Thank you for your patience.
