An exemption permit for registration in the register of skilled crafts pursuant to Section 8 HwO can be granted for a limited or unlimited period if there is an exemption reason and your master-like knowledge and skills in the requested (sub-)craft as well as in the commercial and legal field are proven. If it is not possible to provide sufficient proof of qualification in this way, you can prove the required knowledge and skills in an expert examination. The examiner is appointed by the responsible Chamber of Crafts. You are responsible for the costs of the examination.
