North Dakota EVENT APPROVAL is the statewide process for obtaining approval for events that require a permit or special authorization from state or local government. This process applies to events that will be held on public or private property, such as festivals, parades, races, fireworks displays, concerts, demonstrations, etc. There are three types of North Dakota EVENT APPROVAL: Event Certificate of Insurance, Single Event Permit, and Special Event Permit. An Event Certificate of Insurance is a document issued by the North Dakota Department of Insurance that provides proof of insurance coverage for an event. A Single Event Permit is issued by the local government for events with a limited number of participants. This permit is valid for a single event and must be renewed annually. A Special Event Permit is issued by the state government for large events that require a more extensive permitting process. This type of permit covers multiple events and is valid for up to one year.
