Traveling trade Permit subsequent inclusion, amendment and addition of conditions or listed activities
If you want to be self-employed in the traveling trade, you need a traveling trade card.
You operate a traveling trade if you work as a showman or showwoman, "flying trader" or owner of a market stall, i.e. if you offer your services or goods at constantly changing locations.
Pursuant to Section 55 of the Trade, Commerce and Industry Regulation Act (Gewerbeordnung), anyone who offers goods for sale or seeks out (sells) or purchases orders, offers services or seeks out orders for services or carries out entertaining activities as a showman or in the manner of a showman on a commercial basis outside their commercial establishment (Section 4 (3) of the Trade, Commerce and Industry Regulation Act) or without having such an establishment beforehand.The traveling trade license can be restricted in terms of content, issued with a time limit and subject to conditions if this is necessary for the protection of the general public or consumers; under the same conditions, the subsequent inclusion, amendment and addition of conditions is also permitted.
Accordingly, you can apply to the competent authority to change or extend the activities listed on the traveling trade license.
If your itinerant trade activity changes, you must have your itinerant trade license amended by the competent authority if it goes beyond the permitted activities.
- Travel trade activities usually require a permit (travel trade license)
- Permits can be restricted in terms of content, issued with a time limit and subject to conditions
- Activities can be added, changed or supplemented at a later date upon application

You will receive a notification of fees.
The administrative fees are set in accordance with the Law on the Levying of Administrative and User Fees in the Saarland (SaarlGebG) in conjunction with the General Fee Schedule for the Saarland (GebVerz) (here: Section 601.4).
In the event of rejection:
If an application to carry out an official act is withdrawn before it is completed, up to 75 percent of the full fee is payable, depending on the expenses already incurred (Section 9 (2) SaarlGebG).
Once you have submitted the application for the subsequent inclusion, amendment and addition of conditions to your traveling trade license to your competent authority and all documents are complete, the competent authority will check whether the relevant requirements have been met.
If all documents are complete, your travel trade license will be amended.
