Surrender the Permit

Once the permitted work is complete, surrender the permit to release it back to the Issuer.

Role: Permit Holder / Technician. Platform: iMaintenance Mobile.

Surrendering hands the permit back once work is finished. It moves the permit toward closure but does not close it — closure is performed by the Issuer. See Close the Permit.

Confirm the applicable work is complete.
Once the operation is complete, select the surrender action.
Add Signature and Comment.
Tap Confirm to surrender the permit.
