Electronic Licence Management System
Online licencing services at your fingertips!
The new online electronic Licence Management System (eLMS) is an online tool used for managing all explosives licensing needs.
The eLMS has been designed to provide individuals and organizations online access to their licensing information at any time, allowing for the application and renewal of licences, permits and certificates, amendments, verification of status and to make online payments. You can also submit your Incident Reports online.
Please keep in mind that we continue to refine, improve and expand our system so that we can serve you better.
