CR & CP Pre-Approval Assistance
Pre-approvals and permits cleared across every ministry your activity touches.
Most delays in a Qatari setup are not the Commercial Registration itself — they are the sector pre-approval nobody flagged at the start. A clinic needs MOPH. A transport activity needs MOT. A sports facility needs MSY. An IT or telecom service needs MCIT. Each has its own file, its own queue and its own idea of a complete application.
We identify every approval your activity requires before you file, prepare each submission to the authority's own standard, and follow the files through to issue — so the CR and Commercial Permit arrive together rather than one waiting on the other.

- Commercial Permit (CP) application and issue
- Preliminary and sector-specific pre-approvals

How it works
A fixed sequence, with a named contact accountable for each stage.
Activity review
We map your intended activities to Qatar's activity codes and list every authority that must sign off.
Pre-approval filing
Preliminary approvals are submitted to each relevant ministry, in the order that avoids circular dependencies.
CR application
The Commercial Registration is filed once the pre-approvals supporting it are in hand.
Commercial Permit
The CP application proceeds alongside municipality and civil defence checks on the premises.
Follow-up to issue
We chase each file, answer authority queries and hand over the issued CR and CP.
Documents you'll need
Send what you have and we will tell you what is missing. Nothing is submitted until the file is complete, because an incomplete submission is what causes delays.
- Passport and Qatar ID copies of owners and the authorised manager
- Trade name reservation certificate
- Articles of association
- Tenancy contract or premises details with the municipality address
- Activity description and, for regulated sectors, professional qualifications
- Signed power of attorney authorising us to submit and collect on your behalf
