Basic information
If your workshop card is damaged or can no longer be used due to a malfunction, you will need a replacement immediately. You can apply for a replacement card as a business owner or as an authorized representative.
The replacement card remains valid until the same date as the lost original card - if this would have been valid for more than 6 months. The validity period therefore does not start again from the beginning. If the remaining term of the card is less than 6 months, you will receive a new company card.
The incorrect workshop card must be returned to the issuing authority.
