Amendment of Company's Main Commercial Registration Data

The Main Commercial Register Data Update Service is the regulatory procedure that enables companies in the Kingdom to update or correct any fundamental data recorded in the main commercial register held by the Ministry of Commerce. This ensures that the official information matches the operational and administrative reality of the company. The update process includes refreshing the company’s trade name, national address of the main office, approved business activities, details of partners and managers, capital, and any other changes related to the company’s business or administrative structure.

This service is fully digital, offering flexibility and speed in completing essential updates without the need for in-person visits to Ministry branches. The procedure starts by logging into the company’s account, selecting the main commercial register to be updated, specifying the data type to be changed, entering the updated information accurately, and attaching required documents if the update requires additional approvals (such as municipal authorities or specialized ministries for restricted activities). Once the request is reviewed and applicable fees are paid, the register is updated immediately, and a new main commercial registration certificate containing the updated data is issued. This certificate can be printed and used in all official transactions.
