The move comes as part of the targets of Egypt’s Vision 2030 for administrative reform and service development. It also falls within the framework of the state’s efforts to digitize services provided to the business community. The system enables investors and entrepreneurs to reserve trade names and obtain Non-Confusion Certificates electronically, without the need for paper-based procedures or visits to relevant authorities. This helps simplify procedures, reduce time and effort, accelerate company establishment, and facilitate business operations.
The service is provided through a series of simplified
electronic steps. Users begin by creating an account on the platform. They then
access their personal page and select Digital Egypt services. Next, they proceed
to Commercial Registry services and choose the Trade Name Reservation
(Non-Confusion Certificate) service. Applicants then complete the required
information and submit their requests electronically.
In this context, GAFI allows investors to attach the
electronic reservation code for the Non-Confusion Certificate to the automated
incorporation system, as an alternative to submitting the paper certificate.
This helps facilitate incorporation procedures and supports digital
transformation efforts.
The Authority confirmed that launching the electronic
Non-Confusion system reflects the government’s commitment to improving the
investment climate and strengthening transparency. It provides integrated
digital services in line with international best practices and enhances the
confidence of local and foreign investors in Egypt’s business environment.
GAFI added that cooperation with the Internal Trade
Development Authority represents a successful model of integration between
government entities. It ensures more efficient and faster investment services
and supports the state’s plans to achieve sustainable economic development.
The General Authority called on investors and entrepreneurs
to benefit from the Non-Confusion system through the Digital Egypt Platform.
The service forms part of a package of digital solutions being rolled out
gradually under the state’s strategy to build a modern digital economy and
stimulate investment.
