When checking the reliability, information is requested from the following offices: Federal Central Register, Central Trade Register, Public Prosecutor's Office Register of Proceedings, State Criminal Police Office, Office for the Protection of the Constitution and, if applicable, Foreigners' Registration Office.

The official permit ensures that only those persons who meet the requirements for safe handling and traffic are granted access to explosive substances.

When applying for a commercial permit, the competent authority may ask you for further information on the available storage facilities for explosive substances.

The responsible person entered in the permit is checked for reliability on a regular basis and for a fee.

Changes affecting the permit must be notified to the competent authority without delay.

The licence expires if the holder of the licence has not commenced the activity within one year of the licence being granted or has not carried it out for two years. The time limits may be extended by the competent authority for specific reasons.
