Educational license. Licensing of activities: when is it needed and how is the procedure carried out?

A license is a permit to carry out a specific type of activity, which is issued by a special licensing authority. To obtain a license, the applicant must meet certain requirements and pay the state fee.

Who needs to get a license?

In Article 12 of the Law "On Licensing individual species activities" dated 05/04/2011 No. 99-FZ provides a list of types of activities for which licenses are required. There are 51 in total, among them:

• activities related to encryption and information security;
• activities related to weapons and military equipment;
• production of medicines and medical equipment;
• security and detective activities;
• provision of communication services, television and radio broadcasting;
• activities related to the production of copies of audiovisual works, computer programs, databases and phonograms on any media;
• educational activities;
• pharmaceutical and medical activities;
• transportation by water and air transport;
• transportation of passengers and dangerous goods by rail;
• transportation of passengers by vehicles equipped to transport more than eight people.

License requirements

A license can be obtained only if certain requirements are met: availability technical base(premises, equipment, special documentation); workers with the necessary qualifications and specialties; production control systems; size authorized capital etc. These requirements are given for each type of licensed activity in separate Regulations approved by Government resolutions.

For example, licensing requirements for transporting passengers by road are specified in Government Decree No. 280 dated April 2, 2012. An applicant for such a license must have:

• vehicles corresponding technical requirements for the transportation of passengers and equipped with GLONASS satellite navigation equipment;
• premises and equipment for vehicle maintenance and repair;

• a specialist who carries out a pre-trip medical examination of vehicle drivers or has an agreement with a medical organization or individual entrepreneur who has the appropriate license.

You can familiarize yourself with the requirements for issuing licenses for your type of activity by contacting the appropriate licensing authority. We will consider the requirements for obtaining a license to sell alcohol below in a separate section.

Documents for obtaining a license

An application for a license and a package of supporting documents specified in Art. 13 of the law of May 4, 2011 No. 99-FZ. Considering that types of activities controlled by different services are subject to licensing, the forms of such applications will differ. As an example, we suggest that you familiarize yourself with the application for a license for passenger road transport.

The application must indicate the name, legal form, and location of the applicant; licensed type of activity; TIN; extract data from the Unified State Register of Individual Entrepreneurs or the Unified State Register of Legal Entities; information about payment of state duty.

In addition to the application, copies of documents are submitted, the list of which is determined by the regulations on licensing a specific type of activity and which indicate the applicant’s compliance with licensing requirements, as well as a list of all documents. You need to find out exactly what documents are needed from the licensing authority or find the relevant legal act yourself.

The need to submit notarized constituent documents was abolished by the law of October 14, 2014 No. 307-FZ, so if such copies are required from you (and they are still specified in some Administrative Regulations for obtaining licenses), you can refuse to fulfill such a requirement, referring to this law.

The list of information indicated in the application and the list of documents attached to it is exhaustive (Article 13 (4) of Law No. 99-FZ dated May 4, 2011), that is, you should not be required to provide other documents.

How much does a license cost?

The amount of the state fee for a license is established by Article 333.33 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation. The article is very long, so we’ll tell you where to look. We find paragraph 1, subparagraph 92. Amount of state duty is 7,500 rubles for all types of licensed activities, with the exception of:

• banking operations (0.1% of the authorized capital, but not more than 500 thousand rubles);
• production, storage, purchase, supply ethyl alcohol and alcoholic products (from 800 thousand to 9.5 million rubles);
• retail sale of alcoholic beverages - 65 thousand rubles for each year of license validity;
• entrepreneurial activity on management apartment buildings- 30 thousand rubles.

Draw your attention to - The state duty is paid once for the entire validity period of the license. In general, the license term is not limited, but for some types of activities it is established (with the possibility of extension), for example, the term of an alcohol license should not exceed five years.

If a license is refused state duty is not refundable. In 2013, the Constitutional Court considered a case regarding the return of 40 thousand rubles to the applicant in connection with the refusal to issue a license for the retail sale of alcohol (Resolution of the Constitutional Court of May 23, 2013 No. 11-P). Even the judges themselves did not agree on this issue; one of them expressed a dissenting opinion, the essence of which was “Formally correct, but in essence it is a mockery.” Based on this, before paying for a license, we recommend that you first contact the relevant licensing authority to ensure that you can comply necessary requirements to receive it.

How to get a license?

After you have found the contacts of the licensing authority, prepared Required documents and have paid the state fee, you must apply for a license. Documents can be submitted:

• in person, during a visit to the licensing authority;
• by registered mail with acknowledgment of delivery;
• in the form of an electronic document signed with an electronic signature.

Upon receipt of documents, the license applicant is given a copy of the inventory with a mark on the date of receipt (in person or by registered mail with acknowledgment of receipt). If an incomplete set of documents or a violation of the requirements is discovered in the submitted package of documents, then within three working days from the date of receipt of the application the applicant is given (sent) a notice of the need to eliminate the violations within thirty days. After the violations are eliminated, a reasoned decision to consider the application for a license or to return the application is made within three working days.

If there were no complaints about the documents, then the decision to issue a license is made within five working days, and the license itself is handed over to the licensee or sent to him by registered mail with notification within three working days after this decision. It is possible to obtain a license in the form of an electronic document, if indicated in the application.

The issuance of a license may be refused, then the decision on this must indicate the reasons for the refusal with references to regulations or details of the license applicant’s inspection report, if the refusal was based on non-compliance with licensing requirements.

A license is issued according to standard form, approved by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of October 6, 2011 No. 826. If the license has been damaged or lost, you can obtain a duplicate in the manner prescribed by Article 17 of Law No. 99-FZ.

The license is valid throughout the entire Russian Federation, but if the licensee changes the region of activity, he must inform the licensing authority of the subject of the Russian Federation (territory, region, republic) where he intends to work.

How to get a liquor license?

Retail alcoholic drinks, including beer - that's enough popular view activities of our users, so we will tell you in more detail how to obtain a license for alcohol. The licensing of this type of activity is regulated by special law No. 171-FZ of November 22, 1995. First, let's clarify the issue of selling beer (as well as beer drinks, cider, poire, mead).

Beer is an alcoholic product, but its sale is regulated by certain provisions of the law. The sale of beer is not subject to special requirements for the retail sale and consumption of alcoholic products specified in Article 16 of Law No. 171-FZ, and You don't need a license to sell beer.

Since 2013, beer can only be sold in stationary facilities (shops), but there are no specific requirements for their area, as for the sale of other alcoholic products. In urban areas, to sell beer it is necessary to use cash machine even in UTII and PSN modes. And one more difference between beer and other alcohol - it can be implemented not only by organizations, but also individual entrepreneurs.

As for alcohol in general, obtaining a license for its production and circulation, in addition to Law No. 171-FZ, is also regulated by special Administrative Regulations. The documents for obtaining a license for the production of alcohol differ from those submitted for obtaining licenses for other types of activities. In our article we will look at licensing requirements only for retail sale of alcohol, because It makes sense to consider the requirements for its production, storage and wholesale circulation separately.

To obtain a license, the applicant must:

• be a legal entity (individual entrepreneurs cannot sell alcohol other than beer);
• own or long-term (from one year) lease stationary retail facilities and warehouses;
• the total area of ​​such premises for the retail sale of alcohol must be at least 50 square meters. m in urban areas and at least 25 sq. m in rural areas;
• when selling alcohol in urban settlements, the licensee must use a cash register, even if he is a UTII payer;
• have an authorized capital certain size(the requirement is set by regional licensing authorities), but not more than 1 million rubles.

Regional licensing authorities may establish other additional requirements, so before collecting the necessary documents and paying the state fee, contact detailed information to the relevant district department of Rosalkogolregulirovanie. Their contacts, as well as the license application form, can be found in the Administrative Regulations.

Re-registration, suspension and renewal of a license

If the licensee’s data specified in Article 18 of Law No. 99-FZ changes, You must contact the licensing authority to reissue your license. Re-registration is required in the following cases:

• reorganization legal entity;
• changes in personal data and place of residence of the individual entrepreneur;
• shift legal address and name of the organization;
• changing the address at which the licensed type of activity is carried out.

The procedure for re-issuing a license is given in the article in Article 18 of Law No. 99-FZ, the amount of the state duty ranges from 600 to 2600 rubles.

The licensing authority not only issues licenses, but also monitors the activities of the licensee. If during a scheduled or unscheduled inspection violations of licensing requirements are discovered, an order will be issued to eliminate them, and if this does not happen within the specified period, then the license may be suspended(Article 20 of Law No. 99-FZ), During the period of suspension, it is prohibited to conduct licensed activities.

Once the requirements of the licensing authority are met, the license is renewed. Information on suspension and renewal of licenses is entered into a special register.

Cancellation and termination of license

In case of failure to comply with the requirements due to which an order was issued or the license was suspended, it must be canceled at the request of the licensing authority. The license is terminated within 10 working days after such a court decision.

The license may be terminated and on a voluntary basis, If:

• an application has been submitted to terminate the licensed type of activity;
• the activity of an individual as an individual entrepreneur has been terminated;
• The activities of a legal entity have been terminated (except for reorganization).

When terminating the activities of an individual entrepreneur or legal entity, there is no need to report this to the licensing authority; this will be done by the tax inspectorate.

Responsibility for working without a license

Administrative liability is provided for violation of licensing laws:

• for operating without a license under Article 14.1(2) of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation: a fine for organizations from 40 to 50 thousand rubles, for individual entrepreneurs - from 4 to 5 thousand rubles, while confiscation of products, production tools and raw materials is allowed;
• for activities in violation of the terms of the issued license under Article 14.1(3) of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation: a fine for organizations from 30 to 40 thousand rubles, for individual entrepreneurs - from 3 to 4 thousand rubles;
• for activities in gross violation of the terms of the issued license under Article 14.1(4) of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation: a fine for organizations from 40 to 50 thousand rubles, for individual entrepreneurs - from 4 to 5 thousand rubles or administrative suspension of activities for up to 90 days;

If, at the same time, activities without a license caused major damage to citizens, organizations, the state, or generated income on a large scale (more than 1.5 million rubles), then it is possible to attract to criminal liability under Article 171 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation - a fine of up to 300 thousand rubles or arrest for up to six months.

Since 2013 commercial organizations and individual entrepreneurs received the right to provide services in the field of education on an equal basis with non-profit organizations. Educational Services. Previously we looked at the complete In this article we will tell you how to obtain a license for educational.

Who needs a license

First, let's find out when a license for educational activities is not required. In Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of October 28, 2013 N 966, which approved the licensing regulations educational activities, only one such possibility is indicated. A license is not needed if services are provided personally individual entrepreneur. These are the services of tutors, private teachers, studios, clubs, etc., where classes are taught by the entrepreneur himself, who has the appropriate education and work experience.

We draw the attention of individual entrepreneurs - if you hire other teaching staff, then a license for educational activities of an individual entrepreneur is required. At the same time, workers of other profiles who do not directly provide educational services, you can hire without a license.

In the previous edition, the provision on licensing educational activities allowed for another opportunity to work without a license - if, based on the results of training, a final certification was not carried out and a document on education was not issued. It is still possible to conduct trainings, seminars, lectures without a license, the completion of which does not require supporting documents, but such activities are not called educational, but cultural or leisure.

The list of services that require a license includes the following types of education: preschool, general, secondary vocational, higher, additional general education, additional vocational and education of religious personnel of religious organizations.

Obtaining a license for educational activities is a complex and lengthy process. Only reviewing documents and making a decision on issuing a license or refusing to issue it takes 60 days. Before that, we need to prepare a number of permits from other government bodies and develop our own educational programs. And yet, business in the field of education can be called profitable, so if you want to engage in this area, you need to go through the licensing procedure once.

The license is issued for an indefinite period, and if you do not re-register it, then you will no longer have to contact officials on this issue.

License requirements

The licensing regulations establish the following requirements for applicants in 2018:

• own or rented building (premises) corresponding to the declared educational programs;
• sanitary and epidemiological conclusion for this premises;
• logistical support of educational activities in accordance with the requirements of federal standards;
• compliance with the conditions for protecting the health of students;
• own developed educational programs;
• printed and electronic educational and information resources for these programs;
• staff or hired under a civil contract teaching staff with professional education and work experience.

For a complete list of requirements, depending on the type of education, see the text of the Resolution.

IN regulations regulating the licensing of educational activities, the issue of the organizational and legal form of the licensee is not clearly addressed. The Law on Education No. 273-FZ gives the following concept educational organization: “a non-profit organization that carries out educational activities as its main activity on the basis of a license.” The concept of “organization providing training” means a legal entity that conducts this activity as an additional activity.

• educational organizations;
• organizations providing training;
• individual entrepreneurs carrying out educational activities.

A license for the right to conduct educational activities can be obtained regardless of the legal form and commercial orientation of the licensee. At the same time, an LLC can obtain a license for educational activities if this line of business is additional and not the main one.

Documents for obtaining a license

The license applicant must document that he has created all the necessary conditions to provide services in the field of education. To do this, collect the following package of documents:

• a copy of the LLC charter or a copy of the individual entrepreneur registration certificate;
• a copy of the Unified State Register of Legal Entities or Unified State Register of Entrepreneurs;
• a copy of the tax registration certificate of an LLC or individual entrepreneur;

Certificate forms are available on the Ministry of Education website.

Procedure for obtaining a license

Licensing of educational activities is carried out by Rosobrnadzor and regional executive bodies. You must contact Rosobrandzor if you plan to open:

• higher education institution;
• organizations of federal significance;
• a Russian organization located outside the Russian Federation;
• foreign organization in Russia.

You can make an appointment at Rosobrandzor online on the official website.

In other cases, contact your regional government bodies who have the right to issue licenses. Contacts of these institutions are published on the Rosobrandzor website; to find them, select your region on the interactive map.

Within 60 days from the date of registration of the application, officials issue permission or refusal to obtain a license.

Refusal must be motivated and is possible on two grounds: unreliable information or lack of conditions for the learning process. The state fee in case of refusal is not refunded.

What happens if you work without a license?

For the provision of educational services without a license, administrative, tax and criminal liability is provided. The fines can reach 500 thousand rubles, and the term of imprisonment can be up to five years. Of course, such severe punishment is applied extremely rarely when work without a license has caused major damage or large-scale income has been generated.

In addition, the provision of services without a license reduces the competitiveness of an educational organization:

• there are no benefits when participating in an auction for the right to lease municipal real estate;
• a document confirming receipt of education or advanced training is not recognized;
• students studying in an unlicensed organization cannot receive tax deduction on training costs;
• serious advertising sources do not accept advertisements from such organizations.

In Russia, in order to conduct certain types of business activities, it is necessary to obtain the appropriate permit or license. In total, the list of licensed activities includes over five dozen items. Federal legislation has approved a complete list (Federal Law dated May 4, 2011 N 99-FZ). It includes many services that are often chosen as the main ones by beginning entrepreneurs and representatives of small and medium-sized businesses.

What types of activities require a license?

It is quite common in our country to obtain a license for:

• providing transportation services for more than eight people by car(not counting the own needs of the legal entity/individual entrepreneur);
• production and sale of original printed products;
• security and detective services;
• services for finding jobs for Russians abroad;
• provision of communication services;

• geodesy/cartography services (federal work);
• services in the field of public health;
• pharmaceutical activities;
• management of residential multi-apartment facilities;
• surveying work.

In addition, the list includes many types of business that are less widespread, but also require a license. These include work involving the use of ion radiation sources; with impact on the processes and phenomena of the hydrometeorological and geophysical spheres. A license is also required to carry out work aimed at preserving the country’s cultural heritage sites and carrying out industrial safety assessments. As well as work related to the handling of industrial explosives, any activity (development, production, sale, testing, storage, repair) with weapons, military equipment and special means(technical) for secretly obtaining data.

In addition, a license is required for:

• Development, production of systems technical protection confidential information, provision of protection services.
• Manipulations with ammunition and pyrotechnics (grades four and five).
• Work with chemical weapons (storage, disposal).
• Operation of hazardous facilities (explosion, fire and chemical) production, from the first to the third hazard class.
• Trafficking in narcotic and psychotropic drugs, growing plants containing narcotic elements.

There is another list. Only the specified requirements are prescribed not in the licensing law, but in other regulatory legal acts:

• production and sale of strong alcohol;
• lending;
• protection of state secrets;
• holding auctions;
• work on the securities market;
• clearing activities;
• provision of insurance services;
• space industry.

The list shows that in most cases, licensing is required for activities involving large amounts of financial resources. Small and medium-sized businessmen rarely choose any of the industries listed in the latest list for their work. The only exception is the sale of strong alcohol.

Which OKVED codes correspond to licensed types of activities?

There are differences between the types of activities that require a license and the OKVED classifier codes that must be indicated for a legal entity. In some cases, the types of activities coincide 100% with the OKVED classifier codes. For example, the activity of manufacturing medicines has an OKVED code of 21.20, and services for transporting passengers by rail is 49.10.

In contrast, activities related to the pharmaceutical industry, which also require a license, correspond to a number of classifier codes. For example, code 46.46 is prescribed for the wholesale sale of drugs, 47.73 for the retail sale of drugs in pharmacies, 21.20 for the manufacture of drugs. That is why, when registering an individual entrepreneur or legal entity, difficulties arise in selecting the OKVED classifier code for the licensed line of business. If difficulties arise, you can contact a specialized organization that provides consulting services. Experts will help you choose wisely OKVED codes for registration, so that subsequently an individual entrepreneur or legal entity can provide a full range of services.

Where to get a license

If the type of activity requires a license, then begin work before receiving special permission unacceptable. This is a violation of federal law, which is punishable by fines, confiscation of property, materials, equipment and other types of punishment, including criminal penalties. Only individual entrepreneurs and legal entities have the right to conduct licensed activities. persons with special permission paper.

Government agencies are responsible for issuing the document required for work (depending on the profile of the licensed activity. For example, the provision of services in the education sector is regulated by Rosobrnadzor, issues of transportation of people are regulated by Rostransnadzor. You can obtain a permit for security activities from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. You can engage in medical and pharmaceutical activities, and the manufacture of medicines after obtaining a license from Roszdravnadzor and Rosselkhoznadzor. Permission for the retail sale of alcohol is issued by the Federal Alcohol Regulatory Authority. In the regions, you should contact the territorial divisions of the authorized bodies.

What is needed to obtain a license

Before starting to conduct a particular type of activity, you should clarify whether the chosen organizational and legal form allows it to be carried out. The fact is that some types of activities that require a license can only be carried out by legal entities. For example, individual entrepreneurs do not have the right to sell strong alcohol at retail. They are only allowed to sell beer. The individual entrepreneur form does not allow you to conduct credit activities or work in the insurance industry.

How much does a license cost?

The cost of obtaining a license is regulated by the Tax Code of the Russian Federation. The document specifies the amount of state duty for obtaining the document. It is set at 7,500 rubles for any type of activity except:

• banking (the duty is 0.1% of the authorized capital, but not more than five hundred thousand rubles);

You will have to pay the fee only once for the entire validity period of the license (except for those related to alcohol). In most cases, permits are issued for an indefinite period; there are no restrictions on their validity period. But in some cases a limit is still set. For example, an “alcohol” license is not issued for longer than five years.

Please note that when a license is refused, the fee is not refunded.

Required documents to receive

To obtain the right to conduct one or another licensed activity, you will need to prepare and then send to the authority authorized to issue a package of documents. One of the main ones on this list is a statement written in an approved form. It is spelled out in the licensing regulations for each specific type of activity. You will need to provide copies of all constituent documents. Please note that they must be notarized, otherwise the papers will not be accepted. A list of documents that may be required to obtain a license for a specific type of activity is compiled separately. The presence or absence of such can be found in the licensing regulations of the issuing authority.

How to get a license

You can submit a package of documents to the government agency authorized to issue licenses in person. Another option that the law allows is sending by mail with a valuable letter. A representative with a power of attorney can present the papers. It is allowed to send a package of documents to in electronic format, if all of them are certified by an electronic signature.

If the collected package of documents is incomplete or poorly prepared, the application is not written in compliance with all conditions, then within three days (working days) the applicant will receive a notification about the need to eliminate the violations. 30 calendar days are given to correct defects.

If the package of documents was correct and complete, then the licensing authority is given 45 days to review it. At this time, the veracity, accuracy and completeness of the information provided is checked. Then, within five working days, a decision is made to grant a license. It is issued through an order (instruction). Three days after signing the license, it is handed over to the applicant.

Liquor license

The circulation of alcohol within Russia is regulated by law. This process is monitored by Rosalkogolregulirovanie. The same structure is responsible for issuing licenses for activities related to the circulation of alcohol in the country.

When it comes to product turnover, in which > 15 percent. ethyl alcohol, an appropriate license is required. Moreover, we are talking specifically about food products; non-food products (perfumes, paints, etc.) do not fall under these requirements.

There are separate licenses for the sale of alcohol-containing products wholesale and retail. The cost of a retail license is 7.5 thousand rubles. Wholesale sales of products (our own) will cost 9.5 million rubles, wine – 800 thousand rubles. The license for the wholesale sale of products purchased externally is valued at the same amount. All amounts are indicated for a license valid for a year.

The minimum authorized capital of a legal entity applying for a license to sell alcohol at retail must be ten thousand (in the capital - one million rubles). For wholesale sales – from 10 million rubles.

One of the conditions for obtaining a permit is the availability of premises that meet certain requirements. If we are talking about a cafe where alcohol will be sold, then its area should be more than fifty square meters. The object must be permanent and not temporary. It is necessary to have water supply and drainage systems, electricity and heating. The place where alcohol is sold must be located more than 100 m from sports, educational and medical institutions.

To obtain a license, you will need to submit a package of constituent documents, papers for the premises (ownership/lease), as well as a conclusion from Rospotrebnadzor. You will be required to provide copies of the floor plan. In addition, you will need to provide the originals: a document confirming the premises’ compliance with fire safety standards and a certificate of absence of tax debts and other papers. Full list You can find out from the Rosalkogolregulatory authorities.

Not all entrepreneurs know whether their LLC needs a license. Therefore, the answer should be given right away: sometimes it is necessary, but not always. When is it needed and when is it not? Let's figure it out. Before doing this, be sure to clearly understand the definition of a license.

A license is a special permitting document that is issued to an enterprise and allows it to legally engage in any special type of activity. The presence of a license by an LLC also implies that the technical, professional and other characteristics of the enterprise itself and its employees meet the required level.

Licensed types of activities

Today, only a few types of activities are subject to mandatory licensing. This:

• private investigation;
• medical and pharmacy activities;
• air and rail transportation;
• transportation of passengers and goods by water and road transport.

Such a laconic list has existed not so long ago - since 2002. Before this, the list was much more extensive and was constantly changing. Changes now occur much less frequently. But they still happen, so it always makes sense, before opening an LLC, to familiarize yourself with latest editions laws.

Who issues the license?

This document is issued by an authorized licensing commission. Its composition is approved separately in each case. The reason for this variability is that the commission must include competent specialists in a particular type of activity. They can assess the LLC’s compliance with the required level not only from a formal, but from a professional and technical point of view.

An LLC always has more powers than an individual entrepreneur. For example, LLCs can engage in veterinary activities, unlike individual entrepreneurs, because some medicines for animals have the status of narcotic drugs since 2008, and to work with them you need a special license, which cannot be issued to individual entrepreneurs - only to legal entities. And there are quite a lot of such examples in the legislation. Individual entrepreneurs do not have the right to engage in even such a popular activity as selling alcohol. Licensing an LLC is much more variable - but it always takes longer to deal with it.

Responsibility of the license holder

LLC bears full responsibility before regulatory organizations. In many cases, this is Rospotrebnadzor, but many other supervisory authorities also operate on the territory of the Russian Federation. Any of them has the right to conduct a scheduled or unscheduled inspection of the LLC’s compliance with the license requirements. If violations are detected, then, depending on their severity, a warning may be issued, a fine may be imposed, or (in particularly “serious” cases) the company may be deprived of its license. This means the right to engage in this activity legally.

The best way to avoid such problems is not bribes at all, but strict compliance. If you managed to go through the licensing procedure when opening an LLC, then the management’s task comes down to maintaining the same conditions at the enterprise. In this case, any audit will not be scary, since it will only establish that the company still meets the requirements.

In some cases, responsibility is limited to reporting. In other cases, the LLC is responsible in other respects. For example, if we are talking about tourism business, then the LLC employed in it must provide Financial service for guarantees, confirmation that there is a security deposit in the company’s accounts in the amount of at least 10 million rubles.

What documents are needed to obtain a license?

When an LLC needs a license, it is required to collect a list of documents in accordance with the legislative list. This list has not changed for quite some time, but it will always be a good idea to clarify it when registering. So, you need to collect the following documents:

• application for a license in accordance with the form prescribed by law.
