Duplicate of a health authorisation
You hold a health authorisation and the copy issued to you has been lost, stolen, destroyed or made illegible. The duplicate reproduces what it says; it neither extends nor alters the right it reproduces. The fee is paid to the Treasury before filing, and the receipt is attached to the application.

Authorisation to open a private health facility
Opening a private surgery, clinic or polyclinic requires an authorisation from the ministry of health. The application is assessed after the premises have been visited by a panel of professionals from outside the administration, who report criterion by criterion. The decision remains the administration’s.

Individual prospector’s card
The individual prospector’s card allows one Guinean natural person to prospect for mineral substances by artisanal methods, inside the prefecture it names. It counts as an artisanal reconnaissance authorisation: it lets you look, not work a site. To work one, an artisanal mining authorisation is what has to be obtained. The card is personal, valid for one year, and renewable.

Criminal convictions — evidence.criminalRecord
The criminal record extract is asked for on a first application only, because the decree conditions the card on the absence of a conviction for a mining offence. It is never published, it is not asked for at renewal, and it is kept under the identity document policy, which is shorter than the card’s own.

Artisanal mining authorisation
An order of the Minister for Mines sets aside areas for artisanal mining and opens a limited number of plots in them — one hectare for diamond, half a hectare for gold. Applications are only admissible during the campaign open on the zone, and plots are allocated by ranking: meeting the conditions makes you eligible, and does not on its own get you a plot.

Temporary quarry exploitation authorisation
Authorises, for six months at most and renewable once only, the taking of a set quantity of quarry substances from one site — typically a laterite or sand borrow pit for a works contract. Note: if working continues past that, the quarry becomes permanent as from the day it opened — retroactively, with everything that attaches to a permanent quarry.
