Use a risk-based licensing map to distinguish business identity, basic requirements and sector approvals.
NIB is an important starting point
The Business Identification Number (NIB) identifies a business operator in OSS and forms part of risk-based licensing. Further documentation depends on the risk level and activity. Do not assume every business can operate fully simply because an NIB has been issued.
Read the licensing outputs for the risk level
| Layer | What to check |
|---|---|
| Business identity and licensing | NIB, Standard Certificate or licence according to risk classification; check fulfilment or verification status. |
| Basic requirements | Spatial, environmental and building requirements according to activity and location. |
| Supporting approvals | PB UMKU, facility standards, product approvals or sector technical requirements. |
Read legacy documents in context
SIUP, TDP, IMB and older permit terms may appear in company records. Do not automatically treat them as a new application checklist. Check their status and transitional rules, then align them with OSS, PBG/SLF and relevant environmental approvals. Nor should valid legacy documents be treated as invalid without a basis.
One company may need multiple approval routes
Food factories, cosmetic importers, contractors and healthcare facilities have different needs. Check the actual activities, products marketed and each project location. New activities, relocation or capacity changes may alter the licensing map.
A simple licence review checklist
- List all activities and locations, then compare them with the NIB, KBLI and OSS outputs.
- Record basic documents, sector approvals, verification status, validity where applicable and reporting duties.
