The Safety License Ownership Transfer service allows establishments to transfer an existing Civil Defense safety license from the current owner to a new owner while preserving the same license number, technical details, and activity type. Through the Salamah portal, users can log in, select the facility and the relevant license, and submit a transfer request by entering the new owner’s information and attaching supporting documents such as a title deed, lease contract, or a notarized assignment agreement. The request is then reviewed to verify the accuracy of both parties’ data and to ensure that the facility still complies with current safety requirements before final approval. This service is designed to facilitate business continuity during sales or ownership transfers, avoiding the need to apply for a completely new safety license where no significant structural or operational changes have occurred. It helps maintain an uninterrupted operation under the new owner while keeping the license active and officially recorded in Civil Defense systems in the updated owner’s name. By doing so, it supports smoother investment transitions and ensures that official safety records remain current and reliable. Importance of the Safety License Ownership Transfer Service Ensures that safety licensing remains valid and effective when business ownership changes hands. Officially transfers regulatory responsibility for safety and fire-protection compliance from the former owner to the new owner.

Key Challenges and Difficulties Inability to complete the transfer if outstanding critical safety violations or unresolved technical observations exist for the facility. Potential rejection where supporting ownership-transfer documents are incomplete or statutory fees are not paid on time. Denial of requests when the new owner’s identity data do not match records in connected government systems. Difficulties for some users in selecting the correct license where multiple facilities or branches exist, or in tracking request stages through the online portal.
The Safety License Cancellation service, available via the Salamah portal under the General Directorate of Civil Defense, enables facility owners to formally cancel their existing Civil Defense safety license when the business is closed, activity is discontinued, or the site usage changes so that the license no longer reflects the actual operational status of the facility. The service aims to keep Civil Defense records accurate and up to date, and to remove ongoing obligations related to a license that is no longer practically in use. Through the Salamah portal, users can submit a Safety License Cancellation request by selecting the facility and the relevant license, providing a justification for cancellation, and attaching supporting documents such as a copy of the current license or evidence of business closure, lease termination, or change of site use. The request is then reviewed by the Civil Defense authority to ensure there are no outstanding safety violations or pending technical issues before the license is officially cancelled in the system and a digital notification is sent to the facility owner. This process ensures that the facility’s regulatory status is properly aligned with its real operational situation. Importance of the Safety License Cancellation Service Releases facility owners from ongoing safety obligations tied to a site or activity that has been permanently closed or significantly changed. Prevents accumulation of penalties, violations, or periodic fees related to a safety license attached to an inactive or non-operational facility. Improves the accuracy of Civil Defense databases and supports more effective risk management and inspection planning. Provides a documented, official digital trail for closures and cancellations that can be referenced in future regulatory or legal reviews. Facilitates future reuse or redevelopment of sites under clear regulatory conditions, without conflict from outdated licenses. Key Challenges and Difficulties Inability to finalize cancellation if there are unresolved safety violations or critical technical remarks on the facility at the time of request. Possible delays where required documentation—such as closure proofs or commercial registration updates—are incomplete or inconsistent. Rejection of requests when the applicant’s identity or authority does not match the registered license owner in government systems. Uncertainty among some users about the right timing and procedure for cancellation, which can lead to unnecessary continuation of regulatory liabilities.
The Safety License Renewal service, provided via the Salamah portal under the General Directorate of Civil Defense, enables commercial, industrial, and service facilities to legally continue their operations by renewing their Civil Defense safety license before its expiry date. The service focuses on maintaining ongoing compliance with fire protection and life-safety requirements, ensuring that inspection reports, maintenance records, and safety systems are up to date in line with national regulations and Civil Defense standards. Through the Salamah portal, facility owners log in, access the “Safety Licenses” section, and select the expired or soon-to-expire license to initiate a renewal request. The process typically requires updating facility and activity information, entering the municipal license number, and uploading key documents such as a valid lease contract or ownership deed, updated fire and alarm system technical reports, electrical safety certificates, and certifications related to CCTV and other protection systems depending on the activity type. The submitted request is reviewed electronically and, where necessary, followed by an on-site inspection to confirm real compliance with safety requirements. Once all conditions are met and fees are paid, the renewed license is issued electronically and made available for download and printing, with notifications sent to the facility owner, thereby preventing disruption of operations or exposure to penalties or closure. Importance of the Safety License Renewal Service Ensures legal continuity of facility operations and protects owners from fines, penalties, or enforced closure due to an expired license.

Processing times can increase when required documents or technical reports are incomplete, outdated, or inconsistent. Some facilities struggle to maintain regular maintenance and inspection schedules, which is reflected in weak or missing reports during renewal. Data entry errors or using an expired or incorrect municipal license number can cause delays or system rejections in the online process.
