Overview
- The grace period lets eligible holders renew or update expired licences throughout November 2025 with a full waiver of late renewal penalties.
- The first phase applies to licences that expired before 2010, covering cases lapsed for three years or more.
- ADRA plans to announce the timeline for licences that expired after 2010 in subsequent phases.
- Under current rules, unrenewed licences move to an expired registry and become subject to revocation once three years have passed.
- ADRA links the step to a stronger business climate, citing a 19% rise in active licences in H1 2025 and a 34.7% increase in non-oil foreign trade.
