permit applications
Formal approval requests
Permit applications are formal requests submitted to authorities for permission to do something regulated—build a structure, operate a business, hold an event, carry a firearm.
The term appears constantly in bureaucratic and municipal contexts: The city received twelve permit applications for new restaurants last month.
The process typically involves paperwork, fees, and waiting.
