Changing Residence: Is It Necessary to Apply for an Adjustment to the Groundwater Drilling Practice License?

Is a change of residence required to adjust the groundwater drilling practice license?

Based on Clause 1, Article 9 of Circular 40/2014/TT-BTNMT, the cases requiring adjustment of the contents of the groundwater drilling practice license are as follows:

a) The license holder changes the address of the main headquarters (for organizations), permanent address (for individuals or households);

b) The license holder requests a change in the scope of practice;

c) The licensing authority decides to change the scope of practice because the license holder no longer meets the conditions for a practice scale according to the issued license.

When you change your place of residence, you must carry out the procedure to adjust the contents of the groundwater drilling practice license.

Will the groundwater drilling practice license be revoked if not adjusted?

According to Clause 2, Article 10 of this Circular, the license revocation is carried out in the following cases:

a) The license holder is found to have falsified documents, made untruthful declarations in the application dossier, or altered the contents of the license;

b) The organization holding the license is dissolved or declared bankrupt by the court;

c) The license holder violates the decision to suspend the effectiveness of the license, repeatedly violates, or commits multiple violations of license regulations;

d) The license was issued without proper authority;

dd) The license was issued, but the license holder did not fulfill financial obligations and did not collect the license.

The fact that you do not adjust the contents of the practice license does not fall under the cases where the license will be revoked.

Sincerely!
