# Licences and regulated activities

> Regulated activity licences: energy authorisations, road transport permits and private security service licences.

Some activities may only be carried out with a licence. These registers say who holds one, for what and until when.

## Which activities are covered

Energy business authorisations, road transport operator permits and private security service licences. Each is maintained by a different authority in a different format.

We normalise them into one shape, so a check for "does this supplier hold a valid licence" is a single call rather than three different portals.

## Typical use

Supplier verification before a contract is signed. Contracting a carrier without a valid permit or a security firm without a licence is a risk that is entirely avoidable, since the data is public.
