Have your traveling trade card extended
If you run a traveling trade, you need a traveling trade card. Some cards are temporary. Before your temporary card becomes invalid, you can have it extended by the competent authority.

Basic information
If you wish to be self-employed in the traveling trade, you generally require a traveling trade permit.
You operate a traveling trade if you offer your services or goods outside of your commercial establishment without a prior order or carry out an entertaining activity as a showman or showwoman or in the manner of a showman or showwoman.
For example
- as a showman or showwoman,
- as a "flying trader" or
- as the owner of a market stall.
The traveling trade license is generally valid indefinitely. However, it can be issued for a limited period if this is necessary to protect the general public or consumers.
If you have a temporary traveling trade license and wish to extend it, you must apply to the competent authority.
Requirements
Your temporary travel trade license will expire shortly.
