The One-Stop Shop (OSS) is a highly useful service offered by the Ministry of Commerce and Industry (MoCI), which will enable investors to set up companies in Oman while minimizing paperwork, saving costs and time. ITA has worked with MOCI to align this service with the overall e-Government framework in an integrated manner from a single-access point. Commercial Registration Database is a Shared Database within the e-Government architecture whereby other entities can reference complete and updated company data electronically via the Government Nervous System. The commercial registration number becomes a national identifier for businesses.

All applications and governmental processes involved in company registration and approval requests will become possible online through the Ubar portal. The Ubar portal will become a single-entry access point for OSS services for appropriate entities. The OSS will improve services rendered to new and existing businesses by minimizing the number of visits needed to complete registration processes. In future the payment for such services will also be performed online through other electronic channels.
