With the government, I suppose; I'd imagine the process would be much
like getting a firearms permit. Wait, let's put that in terms Americans
will understand ... I'd imagine the process would be much like getting a
... a ... whatever it is you need to get permits for in the US ;)

What I mean is: you'll probably have to go to some or another desk, fill

be denied (at which point you're probably able to file an appeal against
