Storage License Verification

Why Verification Matters

A petroleum storage facility may be genuine and properly regulated while a particular supplier’s claimed access, capacity or commercial relationship remains unverified.

Independent verification separates the facility’s regulatory position from the specific company, operator or access claim being relied upon in a transaction or license application.

The depot or storage facility being referenced may not correspond with the regulatory or company information presented.

The facility operator, license holder, contracting entity and party issuing an access claim may be different entities.

A valid facility does not by itself prove that a specific supplier has storage capacity, access rights or a commercial relationship.

Verification Scope

The legal entities connected to the verification are checked against relevant CIPC information as a standard component.

Relevant petroleum storage-facility licensing or regulatory information, including NERSA-related information where applicable, is assessed within scope.

Facility details, operator or holder information and company records are checked for material consistency.

Claimed storage access, depot relationships, letters or supporting documentation can be assessed separately where included in the agreed scope.

Who Should Use This Service

When a storage arrangement or depot relationship forms part of a wholesale-license application or operating model.

When counterparties, access claims or facility information need independent confirmation.

When storage-facility or access information is material to finance, due diligence, contracting or supplier-risk decisions.

How It Works

Send the company, license, permit, facility or supporting information available.

We confirm what is being verified and whether any enhanced checks are required.

Relevant company, regulatory and supporting information is assessed within the agreed scope.

You receive a structured verification outcome identifying findings, discrepancies and material limitations.

Turnaround Options

Standard verification: targeted for completion within 24 working hours once the required information and scope are confirmed.

Priority verification: expedited handling, targeted for the same business day or approximately five working hours where the scope and information allow.

Turnaround targets depend on the information available, verification scope and third-party record accessibility.

LicenseCheck distinguishes between a facility’s regulatory status and a specific company’s claimed right to use that facility. A valid storage-facility license does not itself prove supplier access, available capacity or a current commercial relationship.

LicenseCheck does not issue or amend storage licenses, allocate capacity or guarantee access rights.

Obtain an independent verification of the storage-facility regulatory information, legal entities and any claimed depot relationship before you rely on it in a transaction, application or commercial decision.
