The Department of Environment implemented an Electronic Online Licensing System (EOLS) in 2015. The purpose of electronic licensing is to enable Yukon citizens and visitors to acquire various licenses, permits, and other authorizations through a self-serve, account-based, online service. EOLS was also implemented to provide the department with account-based administration of licenses and permits, including issuing authorizations through application-review-approval processes and receive approved authorizations online through their client accounts.
The department is moving toward a digital process for license and permit applications. A digital process will streamline the application and issuing process and mitigate human error. Additional benefits for a digital process include but is not limited to: implementation structured security measures, automating processes, provide more accessibility and control over their personal information within POSSE and provide staff more accessibility to process applications.
