Do the originals of the Mining Licences need to be taken physically to MRPAM for the annual registration?
The license-holder is obliged to pay license fees annually in order to keep the license valid. When you pay the annual license fee the original mining license certificate is required to be taken physically to MRPAM (Mineral Resources and Petroleum Authority of Mongolia) and make the appropriate record on the annex of the license certificate.
According to the internal rule of MRPAM, when MPRAM receives original documents such as mining license, request letter, license fee and MRPAM will provide the receipt confirmation. The receipt confirmation shall contain the documents received by the MRPAM and the date on which the license certificate was recorded the annual payment will be returned to the license holder or authorized person. Practically speaking, the registration will take 3-7 days depending on the workload of MRPAM. Please note that if license holder is unable to do the annual payment and registration, an annual registration could be done with MRPAM if agent has a proper POA to act on behalf of the license holder.
