Applying for a transport licence
On this site you can read about how you can apply for a licence.
How do I submit an application for a transport licence?
You must submit an application for a transport licence digitally at the ANVS-loket:
- Go to the ANVS portal. Read more about the ANVS portal and eHerkenning in the questions and answers (in Dutch)
- Log in with eHerkenning (in Dutch)
- Complete the digital form for a licence application for transport and send it
You will receive a confirmation of receipt by e-mail from the ANVS.
Licence application procedure and deadlines
The period within which the ANVS must make a decision on the application is 8 weeks. When the ANVS requests further information, the processing of the application will be stopped. The period of 8 weeks will only start again when further information has been received.
Pursuant to Article 20.3, first paragraph, of the Environmental Management Act, the licence comes into effect on the day after the day on which the period (6 weeks) for submitting an objection expires. If a request for provisional relief has been made to the chairman of the Administrative Jurisdiction Division of the Council of State during this period, this decision will not enter into force until a decision has been taken on that request.
In exceptional cases and when the applicant can demonstrate the necessity, the ANVS may decide to declare the licence immediately effective (Article 20.5 of the Environmental Management Act).
In view of the above, at least 14 weeks must be taken into account when applying for a licence.
Fees
A fee is payable for issuing licences for the transport of category I, II and III fissile materials (see Article 2 of the Nuclear Energy Act Fees Decree) (in Dutch).
