Service providers

All service providers must be authorised in order to operate. In addition, the staff of an authorised service provider must be approved by the County Administrative Board, regardless of whether they are to work on the service or not.

Service providers may apply for the authorisation and approval of their staff from the County Administrative Board.

The e-services and forms of the County Administrative Board in this field are not available in English. If you wish to submit an application or notification, you may contact the County Administrative Board, which can inform you how to proceed.

What should the application for authorisation include?

The application for authorisation of a service provider must contain the following information:

  • the name, personal (or corporate) identification number and address of the applicant and, if the applicant is a legal person, the corresponding details of the managing director or other person directing the business, as well as the board members and deputy board members of the service provider;
  • the name, personal (or corporate) identification number and address of holders who have significant influence over the management of the business;
  • the persons who are employed or otherwise active in the business and which of them are already approved;
  • the manner in which the company’s name is signed;
  • in which county/counties the service provider intends to carry out service activities.

The application must also contain an explanation of how the company intends to carry out the service activities and how the company will ensure that its staff have the necessary training.

What must I send with my application?
