The Database of Licenses & the National Map of License-Related Inquiries


Description

"The Database of Licenses and the National Map of License-Related Inquiries (NAMA)" has been implemented since 2016.
The system provides fundamental and essential Information that is pivotal to creating a proper roadmap aimed at reducing the time and procedures of issuing licenses. This is done through identifying the existing prerequisite relationships among licenses and the services required for each of them (including inquiries, confirmation of documents, etc.).
NAMA is available at the website of »National Counter of State-Licenses« and it offers license-related information (including time, cost, process, documents, forms, inquiries, etc.) to public. The Information is aggregated, reportable and constantly updated.
