Company formation

What the sources say

The online incorporation service launched on 7 July 2026 for data entry, document submission and application tracking. [1]

Scope & conditions: The announcement concerns the Internal Trade Administration portal.

At launch, credentials were obtained from the administration in Damascus or provincial company offices. [1]

Scope & conditions: Do not assume overseas account opening without an office visit; check subsequent updates.

The 3 August 2026 update gave up to five working days for compliant initial submissions. [2]

Scope & conditions: This concerns initial processing, not a guarantee of final registration or operating permission.

What you can prepare

Practical preparation suggestions, not a mandatory document list or a substitute for the authority’s requirements.

  • Obtain the portal address from the company office or official announcement.
  • Confirm how your governorate issues login credentials.
  • Name documents clearly and check that stamps and pages are legible.
  • Match names and identifiers across identification, articles and the application.
  • Retain the reference, submission date and requests for additional documents.
  • Ask which stage is complete and what remains before trading.

Questions before you decide

Questions to verify your circumstances with the relevant authority, not assumptions of approval or exemption.

  1. Can I incorporate online from outside Syria?
  2. How do I obtain a company portal account?
  3. Does five working days mean final registration?
