Film Permits in Mozambique

If you’re planning to film in Mozambique, obtaining the correct permits is crucial for a smooth production process. At Niigma Films MZ, we streamline this process and ensure you have all the necessary documentation. Here’s a detailed overview of the various permits required for filming in Mozambique:

1. Main Filming Permit: INICC

The INICC (Instituto Nacional das Industrias Culturais e Criativas) permit is the primary filming permit required for most film productions in Mozambique. Issued by the Mozambican Film Commission, this permit is essential for all filmmakers. The INICC permit ensures that your project complies with local regulations and facilitates collaboration with relevant authorities.

2. Credential Permit: Gabinfo

For journalists and media professionals, the Credential permit issued by the Mozambican Bureau of Information, Gabinfo, is necessary. This permit is specifically tailored for news and media coverage, distinct from the INICC permit designed for film productions.

3. ANAC Permit

The ANAC (Administração Nacional das Áreas de Conservação) permit is required if your filming involves national conservation areas. This permit ensures that filming activities do not disrupt wildlife or the natural environment.

4. City Council Permit

Filming in specific city areas may require a permit from the local City Council. This is particularly relevant for shoots in urban locations and ensures that your filming activities are approved and coordinated with city authorities.

5. Drone Usage Authorization

For drone filming, you need authorization from the National Institute of Civil Aviation. This permit ensures that drone operations comply with aviation regulations and safety standards.

6. Markets and Fairies Department Permit

If your project involves shooting in local markets, you will need an additional permit from the Markets and Fairies Department. This ensures that your filming activities do not interfere with market operations and local trade.

1. INICC Permit: Always required for film productions. Obtain this permit first as it serves as the foundation for other permits.

2. Gabinfo Credential: For journalists and media projects.
