Transport permit

The City of Leeuwarden is currently still setting up the process for this application. As soon as this application becomes possible, it will be available via this page.

To apply for a transport permit, you must have a Wecg accreditation from the police, which states that you are allowed to transport explosives. If you do not have this accreditation, you can apply for it via the website of the police (opens in new tab).

The party that will store the explosives must be the one applying for the permit.

What do we need from you

We need the following information from you:

• the names and addresses of:
  • the seller;
  • the buyer;
  • the party for whom the explosives are intended;
• the purpose for which you intend to use the explosives;
• the amount of the explosives;
• a description and the identification number of the explosives;
• information about marketing the explosives (where relevant);
• information about transporting the explosives and the intended route;
• the scheduled dates of departure and arrival;
• the Wecg accreditation.

We will first check whether we have the authority to process your application. We will then check whether the information is complete and whether the application complies with the Explosives for Civil Uses Act.

The application should in principle be processed within 8 weeks. In some cases, the police may recommend additional security requirements in connection with public order and security. In such cases, the extended procedure will be followed. This will take more than 8 weeks.

For security reasons, we do not publish transport permits.

The following laws can be found on the website Overheid.nl (national) (opens in new tab):

• Explosives for Civil Uses Act;
• Regulation on applications for recognition and reimbursement of expenses for approval under the Explosives for Civil Uses Act.
