Many sanctioned events require a valid racing license. Time2Bike checks for one during registration and offers a one-day license when the race allows it.

​
When a license is required

If the event is permitted by a sanctioning body (USAC, UCI, or a custom one), the organizer has marked License required on the race. You’ll see a license panel on the Review & pay step. If the event isn’t sanctioned, this whole flow is skipped.

​
Already have an annual license

Enter your license number. Time2Bike verifies it with the sanctioning body in the background:
  • Verified — green check, you’re done. No extra fee.
  • Couldn’t verify — you can re-type the number, or buy a one-day license instead.
A previously verified license is remembered on your participant profile, so a renewal each season is the only time you’ll be asked.

​
Buy a one-day license

When the race allows one-day licenses, you can skip the annual license and pay the one-day fee instead. Pick the tier the organizer offers:
  • Beginner — typically Cat 5 / novice events.
  • Experienced — Cat 4 and up.
The fee is added to your order. After the event, the organizer files the one-day license with the sanctioning body on your behalf.
One-day licenses cover this event only. If you race a lot, an annual license usually pays for itself.

​
UCI events

UCI-permitted events don’t accept one-day licenses. You’ll need a valid UCI license number to register.

​
Where licenses appear later

  • On your rider profile (under Account → Profile) so you only enter the number once.
  • In the organizer’s license report after the event, which they use to submit the one-day filings.
