To facilitate and speed up the permit issuance process, and following the example of other countries, the State Agency of Medicines informs that starting from January 1, 2026, import and export permits for controlled narcotic and psychotropic substances and medicines in Latvia (hereinafter – import and export permits) are issued in the form of an electronic document.
From now on, import and export permits are issued in a single copy – a PDF document signed with a secure electronic signature and containing a timestamp, which is sent to the applicant’s official e-address.
For additional questions or if consultation is needed, please contact the Distribution Authorization Division of the Medicines Distribution Information Department or send inquiries by email to info@zva.gov.lv.
