Egypt Digital launches public license service

The launch of the General Business Licenses service through the "Egypt Digital" platform has been announced, aimed at simplifying and streamlining the licensing procedures and achieving digital transformation in the licensing system. The initiative is a partnership between the Ministries of Local Development, Environment, Communications, and Planning, with the goal of accelerating licensing procedures, transitioning the informal economy to the formal sector, and providing an integrated database of commercial establishments. Among the new conveniences is an immediate temporary permit that allows citizens to start their business activities while completing the necessary approvals from relevant authorities within a maximum of three months. The license will be sent electronically, and an automatic approval system will be applied if no response is received within the specified period. Fees have been unified across relevant agencies, and mobile technological centers are now being activated to familiarize citizens with the system. Additionally, the Chamber of Commerce is encouraged to raise awareness among unlicensed store owners. This initiative represents an important step toward improving the business environment and enhancing transparency in the issuance of commercial activity licenses in Egypt.
