Application for Food Handlers Establishment License

The Food Handlers Establishment license is eligible to be submitted and paid for on-line through the Michigan Business One Stop Portal. Submitting your application on-line through One Stop has several immediate benefits for your business:

As soon as you pay for your license through the One Stop shopping cart, your license application is sent to the Michigan Department of Agriculture to start processing without any mailing delays
You receive an electronic confirmation that your license application has been submitted
If you also need to apply for a Retail Motor Fuels license, you can complete and submit both applications on-line at the same time.
Other license applications which may be applicable to your business will be made available to you electronically. For example, lottery and liquor licenses.
NOTE: Not all licenses can be submitted and paid for online.

Checklist

IMPORTANT NOTE : To complete the One Stop registration process, you will need to know the 6-digit NAICS code (North American Industrial Classification System) for your type of business.

One Stop uses the NAICS code created by the Federal government (replaced SIC/Standard Industrial Code) to define businesses in order to determine what licenses may be required. It takes all six digits to uniquely identify a single type of business from the hundred of thousands of types of business that exist. To search for the NAICS code for your type of business, please click here: http://www.naics.com/search.htm.

As an example, here are the search results for the term "Food Store":

Search for "Food Store"	NAICS Code	US NAICS Title
Food (i.e., groceries) stores	445110	Supermarkets and Other Grocery (except Convenience) Stores
Convenience food stores	445120	Convenience Stores
Specialty Food Stores	445210	Specialty Food Stores
Other Specialty Food Stores	445291	Other Specialty Food Stores
Gourmet food stores	445299	All Other Specialty Food Stores
Specialty food stores	445299	All Other Specialty Food Stores
Food (i.e., health) supplement stores	446191	Food (Health) Supplement Stores
Nutrition (i.e., food supplement) stores"	446191	Food (Health) Supplement Stores

If your search does not provide a match, you may want to make your search more broad, such as searching only on the word "Food" (over 80 results) instead of Food Processor (0 results). You can also contact the Customer Assistance Center (see below).
