Note for new BioPermit users

All potential applicants are required to have a SAMS (Secure Access Management Services) account – which protects the security of the information by requiring users to enter a user ID and password, or other secure credentials, before providing access to the system – in order to access the BioPermit system to apply for a permit. If you do not yet have a SAMS account but would like to establish one in order to submit a new application, please contact us via one of the methods above, and someone will be in touch with you soon.
