On some of those isolated roads the permit system was introduced to keep track of the people that were traveling out there. It was supposed to be safety thing. Now that much of the area is in the hands of indigenous "corporations" it has become harder to get the green light to travel out there. Don't expect that you will get the paper work that you applied or first try. There may be many phone calls before you get what you need. Most of the locals here simply ignore the "permit" and just do the trip anyway.
