A definition of the 'Adding an Authorization' service
The 'Adding an Authorization' service is a vital tool that enables the owner of a commercial registration or a manager of an establishment to authorize specific individuals or entities to carry out a range of official procedures on their behalf. This accelerates the completion of administrative and commercial transactions and reduces the need for personal presence. This electronic service is available on the platforms of the Ministry of Commerce and the Saudi Business Center, and it allows for the precise and flexible addition and definition of powers for authorized parties, in addition to managing and printing these authorizations electronically.
The 'Adding an Authorization' service covers a wide range of powers, such as issuing, amending, or printing the commercial registration; renewing licenses; dealing with the chambers of commerce and industry; paying subscriptions; reviewing regulatory bodies such as Zakat and Income; and other services related to the commercial registration and economic activities. The owner of the authorization can precisely define its expiration date and powers, which gives them full control over the authorization process.
The importance of the 'Adding an Authorization' service:
Saving time and effort by authorizing a qualified person to complete transactions on behalf of the owner or manager.
Enhancing flexibility in managing business activity by distributing powers according to the needs and size of the establishment.
Increasing the speed of completing official transactions with governmental and regulatory bodies without the need for multiple visits.
Ensuring legal and regulatory compliance by officially documenting authorizations in an electronically traceable manner.
Enabling business continuity even in the absence of the owner or the main authorized representative due to travel or other engagements.
Enhancing security in transactions by precisely defining the powers and expiration periods of authorizations.
Difficulties related to completing or issuing an authorization:
The need for accuracy in the data and documents provided to avoid rejection or delay of the request, especially the requirement for the authorization to be certified by competent authorities such as the Chamber of Commerce.
The complexity of appropriately defining the powers to cover the needs of the establishment without overstepping or falling short of them.
Requirements for verifying the identity of the authorized representative, which include having an active account in the Absher system and being at least 18 years old.
Precise electronic documentation and execution procedures that inexperienced users may face technical or procedural difficulties with, in the event of platform outages or updates.
Delays in processing requests during peak times or when there is a deficiency in the required documents.
The need for continuous follow-up to renew or cancel authorizations according to changes or expiration dates to ensure the safety of the granted powers.
