Request access
This page first explains what we will ask you, what we do with it, and how long it takes. The form comes after. Registering here does not open an account: it files a request, which a person reads.
What happens after you submit
Four steps, in this order, with no exceptions and no priority queue.
You create your login and declare your organisation. You get access to your space right away, marked "pending review".
From your space, you declare the documents required for your profile, with their references and dates. The review clock starts only once this is done.
Someone on our team reads the file, checks that the organisation exists in the register of the declared country, and may write to ask for an additional document. This period runs from the complete submission, not from account creation.
Approval, a request for more information, or refusal. Either way, the reason is written into your space and timestamped in the log. A refusal isn't final: you can fix the point raised and resubmit the file.

Reasons for refusal
They're published before you register, not discovered afterward. You're always told which reason applied.
| Reason | What triggers it |
|---|---|
| Organisation not found in the declared country's register | The legal name and registration number don't match any active registration. |
| Documents illegible, expired, or inconsistent with each other | An expiry date already passed, a name that changes from one document to the next, a truncated file. |
| Missing authorisation required by the country of establishment | Capacity certificate, transport licence, or professional registration, depending on the declared profile. |
| Appendix I activity with no registered breeding establishment | The declared activity concerns Appendix I, with no establishment reference registered with CITES. |
| Documented history of trafficking or an active sanction | A decision published by an authority, or a sanction currently in force in a country party to the Convention. |
| Refusal to identify the person in charge | No file is reviewed for an organisation nobody will answer for. |

Frequently asked questions
How long does reviewing a sign-up request take?
The stated turnaround is five business days. Four steps follow in this order, without exception or a priority queue.
What stays accessible before the account is approved?
All public content, your own space, your organization's listing and submitting your own documents. Publishing a listing or a Saqr ID, answering or posting a buying request, opening a transaction file, and appearing in the public directory all stay closed until approval.
What are the most common reasons for refusal?
An organization not found in the declared country's register, illegible or expired documents, missing authorization required by the country of establishment, or Appendix I activity without a breeding establishment registered with CITES.
Is the reason for a refusal communicated?
Yes. Refusal reasons are published before sign-up rather than discovered afterward, and the reason applied to a given file is always communicated.
Does signing up open an account immediately?
No. It submits a request reviewed by a person; you get access to your own space right away marked "pending review", but sensitive features stay closed until approval.
