Change the activities, ownership, structure, name, capital, or address on your Saudi license. See what each change needs, who approves it, and how long it takes.
License modification is the legal update of your Saudi business record when something about the company changes. Add an activity, bring in a partner, move office, raise capital: each one has to be filed and approved, not just noted internally.
Two authorities can be involved. The Ministry of Commerce holds your commercial registration, and MISA holds the investment license for foreign-owned firms. Get the order wrong between them and your records clash, which banks and government portals catch fast.
Riz & Mona files both sides in the right sequence. We have handled Saudi company records since our regional work began, and we keep your commercial registration and investment license saying the same thing.
An out-of-date license is not a small problem in Saudi Arabia. It quietly blocks things you rely on, and the fixes cost more than the amendment would have.
Every change to a Saudi license falls into one of these. Find yours to see what it touches and whether it is a quick update or a reviewed amendment.
Add, remove, or adjust the activities on your license, matched to ISIC codes.
Add or exit partners, or redistribute shareholding percentages.
Convert your entity type, such as an establishment to an LLC.
Update your registered business name, subject to the naming rules.
Adjust registered capital to support growth or restructuring.
Update the general manager, signatory, or your registered National Address.
Simple portal changes are cheap. Structural amendments cost more because they carry review, new documents, and sometimes sector approvals. Here is the indicative shape.
SAR 50 – 300
Trade name, contact, or National Address changes filed on the portal.

Activities, ownership, structure, or capital, with review and new documents.
Quoted per case
Two-step filing across MISA and the Ministry of Commerce, in sequence.
Simple portal updates cost a fraction of reviewed structural amendments.
Foreign-owned firms file across MISA and the CR, adding steps and cost.
Regulated activities need extra pre-approvals that carry their own fees.
Structure and capital changes need redrafted Articles of Association.
All figures are indicative and current at the time of writing. Saudi amendment fees vary by change type, entity, and sector, and the Kingdom revised several commercial-registration fees in 2026. Riz & Mona provides a personalised, itemised quote for your specific amendment before any work begins.
The order matters most for foreign-owned firms who must amend MISA before the commercial registration.
We identify your amendment type and whether it is a simple or core change.
New Articles, resolutions, or approvals are drafted so the file is complete on day one.
For foreign-owned firms, the investment license is updated before anything else.
The updated MISA certificate supports the Ministry of Commerce change.
Bank KYC, Qiwa, Muqeem, and ZATCA are updated so everything matches.
Filter the common Saudi license changes by tier to see who approves each one and roughly how long it takes.
