EPP Licensing - Self Certification
Self Certifications are run internally by each department, organised through their responsible Digital Leader. The Digital Leader will certify the service meets the Digital by Default service standard criteria. The Self Certification process is currently in Alpha, and will continue to be iterated on. Services with over 100,000 transactions a year will continue to be assessed by GDS.
As a requirement of new legislation, users who acquire, use or posses for private purposes such as a hobby, certain chemicals and other substances which can also be used to make explosives will be required to hold a licence. This service provides a means of ascertaining whether a licence is required, and if so, an application and payment process for a licence.
