Other players are reporting that rank missions aren't spawning either. So it's likely that there is a bug in the upgrade.
Updated Permit List
- Thread starter CMDR Swift Arrow
- Start date
So I decided to go ahead and update the list of permits known so far in the game. There is quite a bit of out of date, incomplete or outright wrong information from various sources, so I decided to compile the best info I've been able to find so far. I've also found precious little information about how to actually get some of these permits (or if it's even possible at all). So if you know something, share it and I will update it. Please contribute additional permit locations, and the best places to obtain them, as well as any other relevant information (such as why you'd want to get the permit or where the ideal locations are, if any).
PLEASE GIVE ME A +REP IF YOU HAVE CONTENT FOR ME TO ADD. Naturally I'll +rep you back.
A BIG thank you to everyone who has contributed information so far! This thread has become a true community resource!

Important things to keep in mind when obtaining permits
The controlling faction is not always the permit providing faction.
You can rep up at any place the faction is at, but only systems within 15 light years of the permit faction's home system will provide the permit.
NEWS/UPDATES:
14 August 2017: I have decided to discontinue updating the rep systems by hand and instead will provide a direct link to eddb for each faction, which did not exist at the time when I originally created this thread. Credit to Factabulous on page 57 for finally for making this suggestion.
Naturally, there are still permit-locked systems out there that may yet be discovered, while there are others that should be taken off this list. I will check back every so often to see if there are any new updates. Thank you so much to people who have contributed to this thread!
ALSO! Added a community spreadsheet for you all to play with and add information to! Credit to 22tma on page 57 for the inspiration!
UPDATE: ISINOR PERMIT IS BACK AS OF 22 JUNE 2016!!
NOTE ON ISINOR: Not being able to get the Isinor permit is INTENDED, not a bug . Apparently no one was supposed to get the Isinor permit yet, so what was thought to be a bug was actually "working as intended". Link to the relevant thread: https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=176824
28 Jan 2016 UPDATE: PHEKDA is no longer permit locked, as per the latest update as of 27 January. (see https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=227540 ) Therefore it has been removed from the list.
Tips on getting allied quickly with an Independent Permit faction
Exploration
5-7 million credits dumped at a station OWNED by a permit granting faction gets you to allied quickly. So take that trip to Sag A*, come back, hit up a few hundred neutron stars, and get allied. While the exploration takes forever, getting allied will go by quickly once you get back. Just be sure to re-outfit your ship with better shields, armor and thrusters and chaff to withstand the odd NPC interdiction.
Trade
Trade is also an excellant way to get to allied status while making some decent money. Here are some trade routes that will help you get allied.
tiliala
mazahun, arnold dock, buy imperial slaves,
bedaho, peters terminal,buy nothing for trip back.
van maanens star
wolf 562, hopkins port, buy performance enhancers,
tau ceti, graham terminal, buy palladium for trip back.
crom
cpd-28 332, hopkins station, buy progenitor cells,
69 g. carinae, lounge port, buy mineral oil for trip back.
ltt 198
gliese 868, maclean terminal, buy palladium,
kigandan, vinogradov port, buy mineral extractors for trip back.
nastrond
jadlillke, markham orbital, buy consumer technology,
wonorne nu, nowak hub, buy mineral oil for trip back.
isinor

anotchadiae, malerba orbital, buy clothing for trip back.

Similarly, not every Col 70 or Horsehead Dark Region star is locked, just a very large percentage of them. If you leave the Bernard's Loop area, you'll be more likely to find Col 70 Or Horsehead Dark region stars that are not locked.

Suspect they are both falling under this change from 3.0.3:
Damn it guys, you had ONE JOB.
Can confirm no permit or rank missions are spawning, I’m waiting for Sirius permit mission and fed rank up mission
I literally have no idea what you're on about.
The rank up and permit missions not showing up is a bug. It's been acknowledged by FDEV. It's 5:30am in the UK. Relax a bit?
naa,its just people wanting an easy win button, thats what i was told when i complained about it, by many many people...
they admit its broken, so, next week they will fix it...or the week after... sall good, not like rank has any effect on what you can do or buy in game
Except it's not an easy win button, the change was simply to surface missions THAT WERE ALREADY THERE to their own section on the missions board, to make them easier to find. Except that this is simply not working.
It's got absolutely zero to do with the speed people can rank up or get permits, and I don't see why you're trying to connect the two issues.
FDEV did NOT remove the rank up missions to address complaints. That's simply untrue, not backed up by any facts, and contradicts the 3.0.3 changelog. I've not idea where you're pulling this idea from, but it's simply wrong. FDEV DID NOT REMOVE THESE MISSIONS ON PURPOSE.
Stop trying to see smoke where there's no fire.
Until you actually back up anything you say with some kind of proof or reference from FDEV I'm not inclined to pay any further attention to you.
If you check the bug forums, FDEV have acknowledged there is a bug with these missions spawning. 3.0.3 introduced a change to these mission types so that they are supposed to appear at the top of the list like a chained mission. This isn't working, and the missions actually aren't spawning at all.
Stop making stuff up.
Start playing
Oh wow, burn, that'll show me. Well played sir, I am now thoroughly trounced by your rapier sharp wit.
Permit missions are spawning under chained missions for me, as per 3.03 design. It is important however, that the current system is closer than 15 ly to the permit requiring system (Info from further up the threat). I had issues with the Pi Mensae permit until I tried a system close to Pi Mensae.
Maybe, there is another requirement for rank missions as well.
Now that the mission board doesn't fail and state that it can't retrieve all the missions, I was finally able to pick up the Isinor permit. So seems like it's been fixed now...
I don't seem able to get the Nastrond permit mission to spawn. I'm allied with Defence Party of Nastrond and have been board hopping at multiple stations in Wonorne Nu and LP 295-2, both of which are within 15ly of Nastrond. This is the last permit I need that's not locked behind any rank. RNGeezus enjoys seeing me suffer.
That's actually been like that for awhile, and you can't get MBOONI permit as that system has no population so there is no faction you can Ally with to get the permit. And Kamba is not Permit locked anymore.
Thanks for the update! Removed both systems from oddities section.
Awesome find! Officially gave you credit for this on the OP.
