The Ministry of Environment and Climate Change has begun issuing environmental audit licenses electronically, as part of efforts to make public services faster, more transparent, and free of unnecessary bureaucracy.
Previously, renewing a license required multiple layers of review, official orders, signatures, stamps, and paper documents, taking between two weeks and one month. Under the new system, applicants who submit compliant materials through the government’s electronic licensing platform, license.mn, can receive approval within 10 minutes. The ministry said the reform helps businesses save time and costs, reduces human involvement, bureaucracy, and corruption risks, and improves transparency and equal access to public services.
Environmental audits serve as an independent mechanism to assess the implementation of and compliance with environmental protection laws and standards. Under the law, enterprises that use natural resources are required to undergo an environmental audit every two years. Streamlining the licensing process has therefore become a practical solution that supports environmental protection while promoting sustainable business development. The ministry also noted that it plans to gradually digitize other licenses it issues.
