What is Commercial Registration (CR)?

Having a commercial registration in Saudi Arabia serves as an official identification card for your business. The CR Number enables you to conduct business legally in Saudi Arabia by proving your legitimacy. Furthermore, it enables you to open a bank account or sign contracts, as well as gain access to a variety of benefits.

Who needs Commercial Registration (CR)?

Commercial Registration is required by everyone planning to conduct business in Saudi Arabia, whether they are sole proprietors or established companies.

How to get your Commercial Registration (CR)?

The following two routes are generally available:

  • Online: An easy and convenient method! Visit the Saudi Business Center website. It is essential that you provide some basic information about your business, such as its name, activity, and capital. There is a charge associated with this service.
  • In-person: Make an appointment with your nearest Ministry of Commerce branch. Please ensure that you are prepared with the same information as you would for the online route, as well as any additional documents they may require.
