Viewing the Business License

You view a license summary on the License Overview page, where you get a snapshot of information regarding the approved active license with recommendation cards for urgent actions. You can also view the business license certificate.

When you access the details for a business license, you see a summary of the business information. This header information is updated to show the latest from the intake form submitted by the applicant. The header also displays the status of the license—Active, or Inactive, or Expired along with the date from which the license has been inactive. When inactive, agency staff and users with appropriate permissions can see a View Details link, which allows you to view the details of inactivation.

To navigate to the license record details, start by accessing the Licenses list page. One way to do that is to select the Business Licenses tile on the Agency Springboard. Or in the Ask Oracle search on the Oracle home, enter "Licenses for Permitting and Licensing." Select the link to open the Licenses page and click the license record row to access the detail pages.

Viewing and Printing the Business License Certificate

The business license certificate issued by the agency records the details of the business such as the name, license type, number, effective and expiration dates, and the issuing authority.

Depending on agency setup, you can view, save, and print a business license certificate from the agency's list on the Licenses page or from the global banner in the license detail pages.

Click the View Certificate button on the License Overview page or click the 3-dot Actions button and select the View Certificate menu item for the license on the agency's Licenses list page.

The business license certificate opens in a new window. If your browser has a pop-up blocker, make sure it allows pop-up windows from the URL associated with Oracle Permitting and Licensing. You can print or save the report from the browser window.

Your agency must define the Report ID BusinessLicenseCertificate in the business license type to generate the business license certificate. Your agency can also allow public users to view the issued certificate by turning on the Allow Public User to View switch on the Business License Type page. See Setting Up Business License Types.

For you to print business license certificates, the agency must configure these parameters for Report ID BusinessLicenseCertificate:

Page Element	Value
Parameter ID	1
Parameter Name	P_LNP_RECORD_KEY
Parameter Data Type	String

You can also configure the Business License certificate to include a profile picture of the applicant. You can upload images to the Business License transaction attachments tab and select the category BL_PROFILE_PICTURE and the subcategory BL_LICENSEE_IMAGE. The categories must be configured and included in a document group.

For more information, see Setting Up Document Categories and Subcategories and Setting Up Document Groups.

Viewing and Printing the Consolidated Certificate for Multiple Business Licenses

Your agency can also allow public users to view the issued consolidated certificate for multiple business licenses by enabling the Allow Public User to View Consolidated Certificate for a Location option on the Business License Options page. See Setting Up Agency-Level Options for Business Licenses. With this option, you can select the locations for which you want to view the consolidated business license certificates and view, save, and print the consolidated certificate.
