Reclassification of Main Commercial Registration

Definition of the service for re-designating the main commercial registration

The service of re-designating the main commercial registration is a regulatory procedure that allows the owner of an establishment or company to update or rearrange the status of the main commercial registration associated with the commercial entity, whether as a result of organizational changes within the company or a desire to make one of the branches the main registration or vice versa. This service serves as a solution when there is a need to amend the basic structure of commercial registrations or reorganize them to align with the actual operational structure.

The service is performed entirely electronically. In some cases, the process may require supporting documents, such as minutes of partners' or owners' decisions, letters of waiver between branches, and any additional approvals if the restricted activity is linked to special licenses or approvals. After the request is completed and the regulatory fees are paid, the registration status is updated immediately, with an updated certificate issued to confirm the change, which can be used with all relevant authorities such as banks, customs, and regulatory bodies.
