Requesting an Emergency Permit Certificate

1. Log in to EPS. The Applications Portal page will display.

2. From the green tool bar at the top of the page, click on Emergency and then Request Certificate. The Create Emergency Permit Certificate page will display. This option will not be available if your BPID already has an active Emergency Permit Certificate.

3. Review and enter the appropriate contact information. Much of it will be populated for you based on your log in credentials. Note that the e-mail address entered here will be used by the system to send e-mails regarding certificate renewals and status changes.

4. While your certificate will be valid statewide, select the District and County with which you work most often.

5. Click on the Submit button. You will receive a Submission Authorization Confirmation.

6. Read the Confirmation Agreement and click on I AGREE. Much like a permit application, PennDOT will receive your request and PennDOT will respond to your request. Certificate requests can be issued or denied.

Note: you can click on I DISAGREE to return to the Create Emergency Permit Certificate page without submitting the request.
