  • Sign the attached acknowledgment by the center’s technical manager or company admin upon receiving the card. 
  • When issuing a work permit or form no. 4, it is uploaded to the professional’s account on the CDWS platforms, and this way no additional annual fees will be required when obtaining the card.
