Doha, Qatar: The automatic renewal service for establishment registration through the Single Window platform aims to facilitate the business environment for companies and entrepreneurs in Qatar and attracts local and foreign investors, said an official.

Speaking to Qatar TV, Mohamad Hamad Al Nuaimi, Director of the Single Window Department at the Ministry of Commerce and Industry (MoCI), shed light on the recently launched service by MoCI in cooperation with the Ministry of Interior for automatic renewal of establishment registration through the Single Window platform and highlighted how this service can support the business sector in Qatar. The service allows companies to obtain the updated establishment registration upon renewing the company’s license and commercial registration. This initiative is part of efforts to develop services provided to entrepreneurs and companies, thereby accelerating their completion and contributing to promoting the investment and trade climate in the country.

Explaining the mechanism for automatic renewal service for the establishment registration, the official said, “First, the investor logs in to the Single Window website, finds the Comprehensive Renewal service which renews both the commercial register and the commercial license. Upon approval, the establishment registration is automatically renewed and available through the Metrash application.”

Previously, the investor had to visit the relevant authorities responsible for commercial licenses to complete the process which took time and effort. “Now, it’s all integrated into the Single Window platform website, making it easier and better for the investor to obtain this service,” Al Nuaimi added.

Established in 2019, the Single Window System is a one-stop-shop for entrepreneurs setting up their businesses in Qatar. The platform assists investors in their application process, from planning, to registration, and licensing through a smart electronic interface. The national initiative aims to enhance operational efficiency in service delivery in order to save time and costs for investors as Qatar moves towards economic diversification and seeks to become a global investment hub.
