A permit can't be issued, because it's illegal to collect, damage, or remove cactus plants from the Sonoran Desert National Monument in Arizona. It's illegal regardless of whether the plant is alive or dead. In fact, the law protects all of the cultural and Natural Resources within the Desert. That includes even rocks and dead things.

Saguaros occur naturally in Arizona and no live or dead plant can be legally removed from public lands. The only alternative is to purchase one from one of many nursuries in the state that specialize in cacti and other desert plants. You will be given a receipt showing that you acquired the plant legally.
