Authorized district chimney sweeps can submit an application for their appointment to be revoked.

Would you like to give up your appointment as an authorized district chimney sweep? To do so, you must apply to your appointing authority to have your appointment revoked.

Only authorized district chimney sweeps can apply to have their own appointment revoked by the appointing authority before the expiry of the time limit.

The Federal Office of Economics and Export Control will be notified of the revocation of your appointment in accordance with legal requirements for the purpose of maintaining the chimney sweep register.
