What Is FSSAI Renewal?
A quick, plain-language explanation before the details.
FSSAI renewal extends the validity of your existing food-business registration or licence before it expires, so you can keep trading legally on the same 14-digit FSSAI number.
Under the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006 and its Licensing and Registration Regulations, every FSSAI registration and licence is granted for a fixed period (1 to 5 years) and must be renewed before expiry to remain valid. An expired licence is treated as no licence, and continuing to operate is an offence.
Renewals are filed with the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) through the FoSCoS portal (foscos.fssai.gov.in), under the same Registering / Licensing Authority that issued the original certificate.
On renewal you again choose a validity period of 1 to 5 years. Renewing keeps your existing 14-digit FSSAI number; letting it lapse forces a fresh application.

Talk to an Expert →Why Is FSSAI Renewal Important?
An FSSAI certificate is valid only until its expiry date. Renewing on time keeps your food business legal and uninterrupted — here is why it matters.
-
01
Stay Legal
An expired FSSAI certificate is treated as no certificate. Continuing to trade without a valid licence is an offence under the FSS Act, 2006 and exposes you to penalty and closure.
-
02
Renew Before Expiry
The renewal application should be filed ahead of the expiry date. Applying early avoids a lapse, avoids late fees, and keeps your operations uninterrupted.
-
03
Keep the Same Number
Renewing on FoSCoS retains your existing 14-digit FSSAI number, so your packaging, invoices and platform listings do not need to change.
-
04
Stay Listed Online
Swiggy, Zomato, Amazon and Flipkart verify a valid FSSAI number. An expired or lapsed licence can lead to delisting until you renew.
-
05
Protect Consumer Trust
A current FSSAI number on your packaging and premises signals compliance and builds confidence with customers, buyers and auditors.
-
06
Avoid a Fresh Application
If the licence lapses you cannot renew — you must apply afresh, which means new scrutiny and a penalty. Timely renewal is simpler and cheaper.

What You’ll Receive
What Documents Are Required for FSSAI Renewal?
Renewal mainly needs your existing certificate plus refreshed proofs of anything that changed since your last application. Keep clear scans (PDF/JPG) ready — everything is collected securely online.
Existing Licence
Your current FSSAI certificate- Copy of the existing FSSAI registration / licence
- Current certificate showing the expiry date
- FoSCoS login / reference of the issuing authority
- 14-digit FSSAI number to be renewed
Identity & Premises
Refreshed proofs- Identity proof of proprietor / partner / director (Aadhaar / PAN)
- Address proof of the food-business premises
- Passport-size photograph of the applicant
- Rent agreement / NOC or ownership proof (if changed)
Business Details
Prepared with our team- Updated list of food products / categories handled
- Any change in constitution, partners or directors
- Updated business registration proof (if applicable)

Renew before the expiry date
File the renewal ahead of expiry. Applying early avoids a lapse and any late fee, and keeps your operations uninterrupted.
Your 14-digit number stays the same
Renewal retains your existing 14-digit FSSAI number — there is no change to your packaging, invoices or platform listings.
A lapsed licence needs a fresh application
If the licence has already expired, it cannot simply be renewed — a new application is required, often with a penalty. Renew before expiry to avoid this.
Only changed documents are new
If your premises, category list or constitution changed since the last filing, provide the updated document. Unchanged proofs usually carry over.

How Long Does FSSAI Renewal Take?
| Stage | Expected Time |
|---|---|
| Document review & renewal application prepared | 1–2 working days |
| Renewal filed on FoSCoS & submitted to the authority | Same day after documents |
| Authority approval (may include inspection for State/Central) | Varies by tier & authority |
Basic Registration renewals are usually the quickest; State and Central licence renewals can take longer where the authority requires an inspection or raises a query. Filing well before the expiry date is the surest way to avoid any gap in validity.
