Media License

Obtain a media activity license from the Ministry of Media.

The General Commission for Audiovisual Media regulates media activities in the Kingdom, such as social media advertising, audiovisual production, publishing and media events, each with its own licence and conditions. Many content creators and businesses advertise or produce without knowing which licence is required, exposing them to violations. One of the best known is the Mawthooq licence for individuals advertising through their accounts. At Tasami we help you identify the licence that fits your real activity, prepare data and documents and follow the request through official platforms until the licence is issued.
