This shift streamlines the process but demands meticulous data entry and up-to-date documentation to avoid instant
rejection.
SEC Vendor Registration : Key Requirements
The SEC registration process is now a structured sequence of Commercial, Financial, and Technical Qualification. To pass, you must prioritize compliance documents. The absolute most important documents for local companies are the Commercial Registration (CR), Zakat and Tax Authority Certificate, and the Saudization/GOSI Certificate, all of which must be valid at the time of submission. For foreign entities, attestation by the Saudi Embassy or Apostille
Authentication is mandatory for core documents like the CR and Audited Financial Statements.
Compliance & Technical Expertise
A significant modern focus for SEC Vendor Registration is the assessment of a vendor’s technical capacity and compliance with industry standards. This goes beyond paper; it requires specific details on your products/services, adherence to SEC Distribution Material Specifications (SDMS), and for manufacturers, ISO 9001 certification is an expected minimum
