  • City Service Providers Classification

An electronic service available on the Balady platform allows beneficiaries to update the owner's name and establishment name on the classification certificate. Additionally, activities can be updated exclusively within the previously classified fields, without the need to visit the authority.

● The user selects City Service Providers Classification from the list of services on the Balady platform.

● The user logs into the system.

● The Beneficiary’s Requests screen appears.

● Each request has two buttons: "Update Certificate Details" and "Update Activities".

● If the beneficiary clicks "Update Certificate Details", they can update the establishment name or the owner’s name.

● If the beneficiary clicks "Update Activities", they can modify the activities, which will be retrieved based on the contractor’s classified sector.

A valid classification certificate.

الاسئلة الشائعة

What is the procedure if the primary activity in the commercial registration differs from the classification field requested?
"All classification-related activities are listed in the National Classification of Economic Activities. A primary activity in the commercial registration may include sub-activities. During the application, the primary registration is used. Therefore, the commercial registration must be updated to include the required classified activities.

If the company's legal status and ownership changed, should we reapply for classification?
"Upon issuance of the classification certificate, the establishment’s data can be updated. There is a “Update Establishment Data and Information” icon on the Balady platform.
(If all owners of the establishment have changed, this is considered a legal change, and a support ticket must be opened.)

How is the classification certificate updated?
The user submits an update request through the “Update Classification Certificate” service or via the “My Requests” service, based on the beneficiary's needs:
1. Update Certificate Information: Allows updating the establishment name and owner name on the certificate.
2. Update Contact Information: Allows updating personal or establishment contact details.
3. Update Activities: Allows updating the activities reflected on the classification certificate (activities are retrieved based on the contractor's classified field).
A new certificate is issued with the same certificate number and expiry date in case of type 1 updates.

How can I update my classification certificate?

1. Update Certificate Details – Allows updating the establishment name and owner’s name on the certificate.
