Request to add a new facility

The New Establishment Addition Request Service is an electronic service provided by Saudi governmental platforms such as the Ministry of Commerce, Ministry of Human Resources, and the Federation of Chambers of Commerce. It enables individuals and organizations to officially register new establishments and add them to the relevant government records. This service allows business owners to legally and formally register their new establishments, qualifying them to practice commercial, industrial, or professional activities within the prescribed regulatory frameworks of the Kingdom.

Users submit the application through the relevant online platform after creating a user account, completing a form by entering basic establishment data such as trade name, activity, commercial registration number, and national address. The application must include official documents like a copy of the commercial registration, national ID or residency card of the legal representative, and any other licenses or approvals required based on the type of activity.
Once submitted and reviewed, the responsible agency verifies the request, registers the new establishment in its records, and sends a notification regarding the approval or rejection with reasons in case of denial.

This service acts as a starting point to activate and renew all commercial services such as licenses and permits, facilitates linkage of the establishment with other government entities, and enables access to business support programs and available facilities.
