The Provincial Government is today launching an online process for not-for-profit and charitable organizations to more easily apply for a lottery licence.
Located at myapplications.gov.nl.ca, the new online application provides step-by-step instructions and lets applicants track the status of their application and allows licence holders to submit their financial reports.
Once the client submits the application, it is automatically entered into the system, reducing time spent managing incomplete or incorrect forms, and increasing turnaround times for lottery licence applications. Online applications also decrease paper, printing and postage costs without affecting frontline services.
Each year, the Provincial Government receives more than 3,600 ticket lottery requests
This is the second publicly available system launched under the five-year Digital Way Forward that was launched in April 2018. In March 2019, government released a MyGovNL pilot project for Motor Registration Division, which allows users to manage their licence and vehicle renewals in one combined online platform.
The Digital Way Forward is the Provincial Government’s plan to enhance government services for residents and businesses. Through this plan, government will fully realize the new approach of “One Client. One GovNL. One Relationship.” The public will see government as one organization regardless of the individual or department with whom they interact. The plan will be fully implemented by 2022-23.
