Read the status first
ACTIVE/VALID means the latest official permit period is current. EXPIRED means the latest official period has ended.
Scan the Permit QR Code
Use your phone camera or QR scanner
Locate a QR code inside an Official Office Stamp area. Scanned QR code will open the DMPR verification portal. Status of the permit will be displayed after scanning.
Principal Permit QR
Scan the page-one QR for the current permit status
Things to know when verifying a mining permit.
Check the period
The result identifies whether the permit is the initial issue or its first, second or third approved renewal.
Compare key details
Compare the company name, mineral, region, permit period and renewal level with the physical permit.
Check the official address
The scanned QR must open this official DMPR verification.dmpr.gov.za portal. Do not rely on a result displayed by another website.
Why verification is scan-only
Each QR code contains a permanentely linked to one mining permit.
Contact the Department when:
- The QR do not open DMPR portal.
- The active result does not match the company, mineral or region on the permit.
- The portal cannot find the scanned QR token.
Important Notice: A match confirms that the scanned
permit is in the official register. The status shown after scanning
determines whether that particular permit is currently active or not.
