Why the Portal Is Down
The temporary shutdown is part of efforts to improve the system. This includes maintenance, upgrades, and strengthening security to ensure users enjoy a smoother and safer experience when the platform comes back online.
Reports also suggest that the move is connected to ongoing checks and improvements following a recent security concern affecting the system.

What This Means for Users
During this period, all services on the portal will be paused. This means you won’t be able to:
Register a new company
Reserve a business name
File or update company documents
So, if you had plans to carry out any of these tasks, it’s best to wait until the system is fully restored.
When Will Services Resume?
The good news is that the interruption is only temporary. Full services are expected to resume in the early hours of Monday, April 20, 2026, once the maintenance and upgrades are completed.
