The same path for every service on the platform.

Four steps, start to finish

  1. 01

    Choose a service

    Each service page states the fee, the expected decision time, who may apply and exactly what you will be asked for.

  2. 02

    Verify your identity

    Sign in with THEQA. Your commercial registration and prior licences are read from the issuing authorities — you never retype them.

  3. 03

    Apply and pay

    Complete the form in Arabic or English, save and return to it, then pay the fee online by card or wallet.

  4. 04

    Receive your licence

    Digitally signed, downloadable, and verifiable by anyone with a phone camera.


A licence anyone can check

Every issued licence carries a QR code and a signature reference. A cinema inspector, a distributor or a bank can confirm it against the Ministry’s own record in seconds — no phone call, no email, no waiting.

Built for everyone the licence touches

  • Businesses and licence holders

    One account, every company you act for, every request and licence in one place.

  • Ministry officers

    A single queue with service levels, field reports, and assisted classification an officer can always override.

  • Ministry leadership

    Live performance against target, by service and by step, with dashboards anyone can extend.


Questions people ask

  • No. You sign in with THEQA, the national digital identity, and the platform reads what it needs from the registries.

  • Yes. THEQA identifies you as a person; when you sign in, the platform asks which of your commercial registrations you are acting for, and everything that follows — the fee, the licence holder, your request history — belongs to that company.

  • Arabic and English, on every screen, every document and every notification. You can switch at any point without losing what you have typed.

  • Each licence carries a QR code and a signature reference. Scanning it confirms the holder, the validity dates and the current status against the Ministry’s record.

  • You are told which condition was not met, which authority holds that record, and what to do about it — before you have filled anything in, not after.

  • Yes. A saved draft appears in your requests and becomes the submitted application, so nothing is retyped.
