Permit Engine · Permitting & licensing

Intake to issuance.
As configuration, not code.

Permits, licences, registrations and the inspections that verify them — for municipalities, free zones and regulators. Each permit type is a 14-day configuration cycle, not a software project.

The lifecycle

One permit,
governed end to end.

Apply

Structured intake with documents, validations and fees calculated from rules.

Review

Multi-department review with parallel tracks, comments and clocks.

Inspect

Scheduled inspections with field capture — findings against the same record.

Issue

Digitally-signed issuance to the registry — verifiable, revocable, auditable.

Renew

Renewals, amendments and enforcement on the permit’s living record.

01

Fee engine

Formula-driven fees, exemptions and fines — reconciled to the revenue ledger automatically.

02

Connected registries

Issued permits land in authoritative registries — queryable by other agencies under enforced access rules.

03

Public verification

QR-verifiable certificates and a public register — trust without a phone call to the counter.

Who it serves

Built for the counter
and the regulator.

Municipal building permits, trade licences, health and safety certifications, environmental clearances, free-zone company formation — wherever an application meets a rulebook, Permit Engine turns the rulebook into configuration.
