Businesses Can Now Renew Commercial Meter Licenses Online

The Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship (IDALS)recently began to offer online license renewals for fuel meters across the state. This eGovernment service will make doing business with IDALS easier for regulated businesses and provide more efficient consumer protection enforcement.

(PRWEB) May 5, 2004 -- Iowa businesses that own a license to distribute commercial fuel can now renew their licenses online using a new service of the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardships Weights and Measures Bureau.

Online license renewal is an initiative that supports part of the departments mission to improve accuracy of data and enhance consumer protection,” said Steve Pedersen, interim bureau chief.

The online license renewal program, developed and hosted by KRSNetwork (a service of Kelly Registration Systems, Inc.), provides an easy, step-by-step process for licensees to update their business information, complete their license renewal, and pay their license fee.

By moving to an electronic system, we will save much of the costs associated with printing and mailing paper renewal forms and notices,” Pedersen said. Efficiency leads to lower costs, which results in better utilization of taxpayer funds, a win/win for everyone.”

In addition to online renewals for licensees, the system also benefits consumers by enabling them to search renewal data online by name of business, license number, city or zip code, or by commercial meter type (refined fuel meters, LP gas truck meters, LP gas stationery meters, bulk meters, and mass flow meters).
