License requirements

A license can be obtained only if certain requirements are met: the availability of a technical base (premises, equipment, special documentation); workers with the necessary qualifications and specialties; production control systems; size of the authorized capital, etc. These requirements are given for each type of licensed activity in separate Regulations approved by Government resolutions.

For example, licensing requirements for transporting passengers by road are specified in Government Decree No. 195 dated February 27, 2019. An applicant for such a license must have:

vehicles that meet the technical requirements for transporting passengers and are equipped with GLONASS satellite navigation equipment;
premises and equipment for vehicle maintenance and repair;
drivers of vehicles who have concluded an employment contract or a contract for the provision of services with him, have the necessary qualifications and work experience, and have also undergone a medical examination;
a specialist who carries out a pre-trip medical examination of vehicle drivers or has an agreement with a medical organization or individual entrepreneur who has the appropriate license.

You can familiarize yourself with the requirements for issuing licenses for your type of activity by contacting the appropriate licensing authority. We will consider the requirements for obtaining a license to sell alcohol below in a separate section.

Documents for obtaining a license

An application for a license and a package of supporting documents specified in Art. 13 of the law of May 4, 2011 No. 99-FZ. Considering that types of activities controlled by different services are subject to licensing, the forms of such applications will differ.

The application must indicate the name, legal form, and location of the applicant; licensed type of activity; TIN; extract data from the Unified State Register of Individual Entrepreneurs or the Unified State Register of Legal Entities; information about payment of state duty.

In addition to the application, copies of documents are submitted, the list of which is determined by the regulations on licensing a specific type of activity and which indicate the applicant’s compliance with licensing requirements, as well as a list of all documents. You need to find out exactly what documents are needed from the licensing authority or find the relevant legal act yourself.

The list of information indicated in the application and the list of documents attached to it is exhaustive (Article 13 (4) of Law No. 99-FZ dated May 4, 2011), that is, you should not be required to provide other documents.

When is a license needed?

The list of activities for which licenses are required is strictly defined in paragraph 1 of Art. 12 99-FZ. If an activity is not on the list, then permission is not required for its implementation.

A separate license is provided for each type of activity. which operates throughout the Russian Federation. You just need to notify the licensing authority of the region where you plan to expand.

Documents to obtain a license must be submitted immediately after state registration. Or before starting a licensed activity.

The requirements that an organization must meet in order to obtain a license and carry out activities are established by the licensing regulations for a specific type of activity.

For example, if you decide to engage in medical practice, then in order to obtain a license you must meet the following basic characteristics:

the premises must be owned or rented;
there must be medical equipment, devices necessary for the provision of services;
managers and responsible employees must have higher medical education, appropriate qualifications and work experience of at least 5 years;
employment contracts must be concluded with employees;
availability of quality and safety control.

There may also be restrictions on the organizational and legal form, for example, an individual entrepreneur cannot obtain a license for the production and sale of alcoholic products; licenses are provided exclusively to legal entities.

What documents are needed to obtain a license?

The following package of documents must be submitted to the licensing authority:

application in the prescribed form;
copies of the organization’s constituent documents, certified by a notary;
necessary documents that may be established by the regulations on licensing a specific type of activity;
list of attached documents.

The application form is established by the regulations on licensing a particular type of activity.

How much does a license cost?

The amount of the state fee for a license is established by Article 333.33 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation. The article is very long, so we’ll tell you where to look. We find paragraph 1, subparagraph 92. The state duty is 7,500 rubles for all types of licensed activities, with the exception of:

banking operations (0.1% of the authorized capital, but not more than 500 thousand rubles);
production, storage, purchase, supply of ethyl alcohol and alcoholic products (from 800 thousand to 9.5 million rubles);
retail sale of alcoholic beverages - 65 thousand rubles for each year of license validity;
entrepreneurial activity for managing apartment buildings - 30 thousand rubles.

Please note that the state fee is paid once for the entire validity period of the license. In general, the license term is not limited, but for some types of activities it is established (with the possibility of extension), for example, the term of an alcohol license should not exceed five years.

In case of refusal to issue a license, the state fee is not refunded. The Constitutional Court considered the case of returning 40 thousand rubles to the applicant in connection with the refusal to issue a license for the retail sale of alcohol (Resolution of the Constitutional Court of May 23, 2013 No. 11-P). Even the judges themselves did not agree on this issue; one of them expressed a dissenting opinion, the essence of which was “Formally correct, but in essence it is a mockery.” Therefore, before paying for a license, we recommend that you first contact the relevant licensing authority to ensure that you can meet the necessary requirements to obtain it.

How to get a license

After you have found the contacts of the licensing authority, prepared the necessary documents and paid the state fee, you need to apply for a license. Documents can be submitted:

in person, during a visit to the licensing authority;
by registered mail with acknowledgment of delivery;
in the form of an electronic document signed with an electronic signature.

Upon receipt of documents, the license applicant is given a copy of the inventory with a mark on the date of receipt (in person or by registered mail with acknowledgment of receipt). If an incomplete set of documents or a violation of the requirements is discovered in the submitted package of documents, then within three working days from the date of receipt of the application the applicant is given (sent) a notice of the need to eliminate the violations within thirty days. After the violations are eliminated, a reasoned decision to consider the application for a license or to return the application is made within three working days.

If there were no complaints about the documents, then the decision to issue a license is made within five working days, and the license itself is handed over to the licensee or sent to him by registered mail with notification within three working days after this decision. It is possible to obtain a license in the form of an electronic document, if indicated in the application.

The issuance of a license may be refused, then the decision on this must indicate the reasons for the refusal with references to regulatory legal acts or details of the inspection report of the license applicant, if the refusal was based on non-compliance with licensing requirements.

A license is issued in a standard form approved by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation dated September 14, 2022 No. 1559. If the license has been damaged or lost, you can obtain a duplicate in the manner prescribed by Article 17 of Law No. 99-FZ.

The license is valid throughout the entire Russian Federation, but if the licensee changes the region of activity, he must inform the licensing authority of the subject of the Russian Federation (territory, region, republic) where he intends to work.

Where to apply and deadlines for obtaining a license

Licensing authorities are identified by type of activity in the List approved by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of November 21, 2011 N 957. You must contact their regional departments. For example, the Ministry of Emergency Situations carries out licensing of fire safety activities, the Ministry of Internal Affairs - security activities, Roszdravnadzor - pharmaceutical activities.

Within three working days from the date of submission of the application, the licensing authority makes a decision on consideration or return with a reasoned justification of the reasons for the return.

If the application reveals a violation of the requirements or the documents are not presented in full, then within three working days the licensing authority will issue a notice of the need to eliminate. 30 days are given for correction.

Within 45 working days from the date of receipt of the application and documents, the completeness and accuracy of the information is checked and a decision is made to grant a license. The decision is formalized by order (instruction) of the licensing authority. Within 3 working days after the license is signed by the licensing authority, the entrepreneur is sent a notification - by email or by mail. At the same time, they can send an extract from the register if you chose this option in the application.

Paper licenses will not be issued as of January 1, 2022. Only the registry entry matters.

How to get a liquor license

Retail sale of alcoholic beverages, including beer, is a fairly popular activity for our users, so we will tell you in more detail how to obtain an alcohol license. The licensing of this type of activity is regulated by special law No. 171-FZ of November 22, 1995. First, let's clarify the issue of selling beer (as well as beer drinks, cider, poire, mead).

Beer is an alcoholic product, but its sale is regulated by certain provisions of the law. The sale of beer is not subject to special requirements for the retail sale and consumption of alcoholic products specified in Article 16 of Law No. 171-FZ, and a license is not required to sell beer.

Beer can only be sold in stationary facilities (shops), but there are no specific requirements for their area, as for the sale of other alcoholic products. And one more difference between beer and other alcohol is that it can be sold not only by organizations, but also by individual entrepreneurs.

As for alcohol in general, obtaining a license for its production and circulation, in addition to Law No. 171-FZ, is also regulated by special Administrative Regulations. The documents for obtaining a license for the production of alcohol differ from those submitted for obtaining licenses for other types of activities. In our article we will consider licensing requirements only for the retail sale of alcohol, because... It makes sense to consider the requirements for its production, storage and wholesale circulation separately.

To obtain a license, the applicant must:

be a legal entity (individual entrepreneurs cannot sell alcohol other than beer);
own or long-term (from one year) lease stationary retail facilities and warehouses;
the total area of such premises for the retail sale of alcohol must be at least 50 square meters. m in urban areas and at least 25 sq. m in rural areas;
When selling alcohol in urban areas, the licensee must use a cash register;
have an authorized capital of a certain size (the requirement is established by regional licensing authorities), but not more than 1 million rubles.

Regional licensing authorities may establish other additional requirements, so before collecting the necessary documents and paying the state fee, contact the relevant district department of Rosalkogolregulirovanie for detailed information. Their contacts, as well as the license application form, can be found in the Administrative Regulations.

Laws licensing activities in Russia

The types of activities for which a license must be obtained are established by federal laws. In addition to the licensed types of activities provided for by Law No. 99-FZ of May 4, 2011 “On licensing of certain types of activities,” there are other areas of business that are also subject to licensing. These types of activities in the Russian Federation are regulated by separate laws:

use of atomic energy - Law No. 170-FZ of November 21, 1995;
production and circulation of alcohol - Law No. 171-FZ of November 22, 1995;
activities of credit institutions - Law No. 395-1 of December 2, 1990;
protection of state secrets - Law No. 5485-1 of July 21, 1993;
holding auctions - Law No. 325-FZ of November 21, 2011;
professional activity in the securities market - Law No. 39-FZ of April 22, 1996;
activities of NPFs – Law No. 75-FZ of 05/07/1998;
clearing activities – Law No. 7-FZ of 02/07/2011;
insurance activities - Law No. 4015-1 of November 27, 1992;
space activities - Law No. 5663-1 of 08/20/1993.

As you can see, these are mainly areas that require serious financial investments, so small businesses rarely choose such areas of activity, with the exception of the sale of alcohol. But the list of licensed types of activities specified in Law No. 99-FZ of 05/04/2011 includes many areas popular among novice businessmen, so we suggest that you familiarize yourself with it in more detail.

Re-registration, suspension and renewal of a license

If the licensee’s data specified in Article 18 of Law No. 99-FZ changes, he must contact the licensing authority to reissue the license. Re-registration is required in the following cases:

reorganization of a legal entity;
changes in personal data and place of residence of the individual entrepreneur;
change of legal address and name of the organization;
changing the address at which the licensed type of activity is carried out.

The procedure for re-issuing a license is given in the article in Article 18 of Law No. 99-FZ, the amount of the state duty ranges from 600 to 2600 rubles.

The licensing authority not only issues licenses, but also monitors the activities of the licensee. If during a scheduled or unscheduled inspection violations of licensing requirements are discovered, an order will be issued to eliminate them, and if this does not happen within the specified period, the activity of the license may be suspended (Article 20 of Law No. 99-FZ). During the period of suspension, the licensed activity is prohibited.

Once the requirements of the licensing authority are met, the license is renewed. Information on suspension and renewal of licenses is entered into a special register.

Cancellation and termination of license

In case of failure to comply with the requirements due to which an order was issued or the license was suspended, it must be canceled at the request of the licensing authority. The license is terminated within 10 working days after such a court decision.

The license may be terminated voluntarily if :

an application has been submitted to terminate the licensed type of activity;
the activity of an individual as an individual entrepreneur has been terminated;
The activities of a legal entity have been terminated (except for reorganization).

When terminating the activities of an individual entrepreneur or legal entity, there is no need to report this to the licensing authority; this will be done by the tax inspectorate.

Responsibility for working without a license

Administrative liability is provided for violation of licensing laws:

for activities without a license under Article 14.1 (2) of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation: a fine for organizations from 40 to 50 thousand rubles, for individual entrepreneurs - from 4 to 5 thousand rubles, while confiscation of products, production tools and raw materials is allowed;
for activities in violation of the terms of the issued license under Article 14.1 (3) of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation: a fine for organizations from 30 to 40 thousand rubles, for individual entrepreneurs - from 3 to 4 thousand rubles;
for activities in gross violation of the terms of the issued license under Article 14.1 (4) of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation: a fine for organizations from 100 to 200 thousand rubles, for individual entrepreneurs - from 4 to 8 thousand rubles or administrative suspension of activities for up to 90 days.

If, in this case, activities without a license caused major damage to citizens, organizations, the state or brought in large-scale income (more than 1.5 million rubles), then it is possible to bring criminal liability under Article 171 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation - a fine of up to 300 thousand rubles or arrest up to six months.

License for educational activities

Everyone can gnaw on the granite of science, but not everyone can teach it. To bring the light of knowledge to the masses, you need to be brave, persistent and selfless, because collecting a heap of documents is very nerve-wracking and wrinkle-inducing.

Educational activities are included in the list of licensed activities, according to Article 12 of the Federal Law “On Licensing of Certain Types of Activities”. Moreover, this does not apply to innovative educational organizations. The law also stipulates the indefinite validity of the license.
