What is included

What does Elevator licensing include?

Elevator licensing covers the elevator's data, its inspection record and the building's documents, and clearing any finding that blocks the grant.

Elevator technical data
The competent authority asks for the capacity, number of floors and drive type to grant the licence.
Periodic maintenance record
The absence of a regular maintenance record is a frequent reason a licence is held up.
Valid safety certificate
No licence is granted without a current safety certificate from the inspection body.
Building and ownership documents
The building permit and ownership documents form part of the file the competent authority reviews.
Clearing technical findings
Any finding in the doors, shaft or safety devices blocks the licence until it is fixed.
Periodic licence renewal
The licence is not permanent and renewal requires a fresh inspection, not just an application.

The problem and the answer

From the problem to the answer

A licence does not come by itself

Many building owners assume that installing an elevator is enough, or that the first licence stays valid. The competent authority requires periodic inspection and regular renewal, and any fault in the doors, the safety devices or the maintenance record can stop a grant or a renewal.

Have what you need ready

Gather the elevator's data, its maintenance record, a valid safety certificate and the building documents before submitting any application. The step many owners miss is checking the maintenance record early, because a gap in it extends the process. Call or message us on WhatsApp, tell us where your elevator stands, and we agree the details.

FAQ

Questions our customers ask

How do I know my elevator licence needs renewing now?

The licence carries an expiry date, and once it passes the elevator operates without regulatory cover. Check the document itself or the building's file with the competent authority, and do not wait to be reminded, because the responsibility for following up rests with the building owner.

What commonly stops an elevator licence from being granted?

Three reasons recur: no regular maintenance record, an expired or incomplete safety certificate, or a technical finding in the doors or safety devices that the inspector noted and was not fixed. Any one of these is enough to delay the grant.

What should I prepare before submitting a licensing application?

Prepare in advance: the elevator's technical data from the data plate in the cabin or shaft, the periodic maintenance record, a valid safety certificate, and the building ownership documents and building permit. A gap in any one of these extends the process.

Does the licensing file differ between a residential and a commercial elevator?

The basic requirements are the same: elevator data, maintenance record, safety certificate and building documents. But commercial use means higher traffic, which makes the competent authority look more closely at the maintenance record because frequent use accelerates wear on the safety devices.

Do I need a new licence if I replace a major part of the elevator?

Replacing a major part such as the motor, the controller or the cabin may require a fresh inspection and an update to the licence file, because the licence is granted for the elevator with its actual specifications. Changing a part without notifying the competent authority leaves the registered data out of step with the real elevator.
