Ministry of Commerce (MoC) Portal: Cases of Interrupted Access

An Expired CR on Your MoC Portal Can Result in Blocked Business Activity

Your Commercial Registration (CR) on the MoC Portal is crucial for operating in Saudi Arabia. Failing to renew it on time can lead to disruptions in essential services, such as banking and visa processing.

What Happens If You Don’t Renew Your CR on the MoC Portal in Time?

No fines are imposed, but key services will be temporarily paused until the CR on the MoC Portal is renewed.

Potential Impact on Your MoC Portal:

• Bank Account Restrictions: An expired CR on the MoC Portal can halt financial transactions until renewal.
• Visa Services: Ministry of Labor services, including visa issuance (such as general manager visas), will be suspended.
• Business Operations: Your company will be unable to operate legally or make amendments to the CR or Articles of Association (AoA) until it’s renewed on the MoC Portal.

Exclusive Tip for MoC Portal Users:

Renew your CR on the MoC Portal ahead of time to avoid disruptions in key services like visa applications and financial transactions.

Note:

If the CR is renewed after expiring on the MoC Portal, it will be backdated. However, keeping it current ensures smooth operations without interruptions. Learn more about the requirements of maintaining your MoC portal with full compliance
