Viewing past Requests for Permits in PEMS

In future, when the Plant Export Management System (PEMS) connects to the Next Export Documentation system (NEXDOC), Requests for Permit (RFPs) will be called Requests for Export (REXs). You can find past RFPs in PEMS.  

To do this, use the same search function you would use for REXs.

There are 2 ways to search for a Request for Permit (RFP).
