Saudia Company Formation

Portfolio

Saudi companies we formed, shown with the certificates and the dates

Anyone can say they set up companies in Saudi Arabia. This page shows the paperwork: four certificates from two of our formation files, the real dates printed on them, and what clients wrote on Google. Client names, numbers and QR codes are redacted; everything else is as issued.

The four certificates

What a finished Saudi company formation produces

A foreign-owned company in Saudi Arabia is created by two documents from two ministries: the Investment Registration Certificate from MISA, which replaced licensing with registration under the updated Investment Law, then the Commercial Registration from the Ministry of Commerce. These are both, from our files.

MISA Investment Registration Certificate for a company owned 100% by a Pakistani private limited company, client details redacted
Ministry of InvestmentInvestment Registration CertificateIssued after MISA approves the foreign investor. It lists the shareholders, their nationality, their share, the capital and the location. It replaced the old MISA licence when the updated Investment Law came into force in February 2025.Redacted: company name, registration and investor numbers, email, QR code
Saudi Commercial Registration Certificate in English for a one-person limited liability company, client details redacted
Ministry of CommerceCommercial Registration (English)The certificate that brings the company into existence. It shows the entity type (here a one-person limited liability company), the release date and the status: Active. Since April 2025 a CR has no expiry date; its data is confirmed every year.Redacted: company name, national number, release date, QR code
Saudi Commercial Registration Certificate in Arabic for a one-person limited liability company, client details redacted
Ministry of CommerceCommercial Registration (Arabic)The same certificate in Arabic, شهادة السجل التجاري. Banks and government portals in Saudi Arabia work from the Arabic version, so we check every name on it against the passports.Redacted: company name, national number, issue date, QR code
MISA Investment Registration Certificate for a company owned 100% by a Pakistani SMC private limited company, client details redacted
Ministry of InvestmentInvestment Registration (company shareholder)A second MISA certificate, here for a Saudi company owned outright by a Pakistani single-member company. It carries an update date one year after registration, because MISA registrations are updated every year.Redacted: company name, registration and investor numbers, email, QR code

Click any certificate to open it full size. We redacted the details that identify our clients, not the parts that show what the document is. The CR shows no expiry date because the Commercial Register Law in force since 3 April 2025 replaced renewal with an annual confirmation.

Two files, start to finish

How long did these two companies take?

The dates below are printed on the certificates above. Both companies are one-person LLCs owned 100% by a company registered in Pakistan.

Why we show the slow file too

A provider that only quotes its fastest case is selling, not informing. File B was registered with MISA in March 2025, soon after the updated Investment Law replaced MISA licences with registration, while the new process was bedding in. File A ran through the same two ministries in under four weeks. Most delays we see are document mistakes: a shareholder paper that doesn't match the passport, or articles that wait for a signature. The activity chosen matters too.

What the dates do not include

Both figures run from the MISA registration date to the CR date, so three parts of a full formation sit outside them:

  • Preparing and apostilling papers in Pakistan, which comes before MISA
  • ZATCA, GOSI, Qiwa and the bank account, which come after the CR
  • Residency for the manager

The full route, with who does what at each stage, is on how we work.

How to tell a real Saudi certificate from a mock-up

Every genuine MISA and Commercial Registration certificate carries a QR code. The MISA certificate says so in print: you can verify the document by visiting the Ministry of Investment's website or scanning the QR code at the top.

That is why our copies above have the QR codes blanked: they lead straight to our clients' live records. When you are choosing a provider, ask to see one unredacted certificate on a call and scan the code yourself. A real one opens the record on the ministry's own site.

  1. Ask

    Request a live certificate on a call

    Any formation provider with real files can show one, with the client's permission.

  2. Scan

    Scan the QR code with your phone

    The QR code should open the record on the issuing ministry's own website, not on a third-party site.

  3. Match

    Match the details

    The entity type, the status and the dates on the ministry page should match the paper exactly. A mismatch in any of them is a reason to stop.
