What Are The Legal Requirements For Vendor Registration In Saudi Arabia?
To become an approved vendor, your business must meet several legal and procedural requirements. This includes holding an active Commercial Registration (CR), being ZATCA-compliant, and having all company information up to date.

Vendor Registration Cost, Duration, And Process
Estimated Pricing
Vendor registration costs vary based on the number of platforms, document condition, and nature of the business. Typical fees range between SAR 2,000 and SAR 6,000. If multiple registrations or renewals are involved, or notarization is required, the cost may increase. MFD shares a fixed quote after reviewing your profile.
Estimated Timeline
On average, registration with a single entity takes between 5 to 15 business days. This depends on internal review procedures, follow-ups required, and responsiveness of the entity. Delays usually come from document mismatch or formatting errors.
How The Process Works
We begin by identifying the client or portal where registration is needed. Documents are reviewed and updated where necessary. MFD then prepares your vendor profile, fills online or offline forms, and submits all information for approval. Our team also manages clarifications and updates, ensuring the registration is completed without back-and-forth issues.
