Authorization in the Building Information System

A foreigner can sign in the public portal of the Building Information System (BIS) after a building authority has registered a person as a foreigner. A username and a password can be obtained on the spot addressing a local building authority or a building authority responsible for a specific construction process. They can also be obtained remotely if a foreigner prepares and sends an application to be registered as a foreigner. This application should be accompanied by a notarial certified translation and an APOSTILLE.

When signing up for the BIS for the first time, a user should use the username (e-mail address) and the password sent to him or her by e-mail. The password must be changed after signing up. Please note that the password generated automatically is valid for 72 hours.

A user can sign in the BIS public portal on the BIS website at: https://bis.gov.lv/
