The "Mawthooq" license is a service provided by the General Commission for Audiovisual Media in Saudi Arabia to regulate advertising on social media platforms. This license allows individuals, including GCC nationals and residents in Saudi Arabia, to legally and professionally offer advertising content while adhering to approved ethical standards and regulations. The service aims to enhance trust in the advertising market, protect consumer rights, and ensure that advertisements align with cultural and social values.

To obtain the license, applicants must be at least 18 years old, have a clean criminal record, and maintain compliant media content on their platforms for the six months prior to application. Non-Saudi residents are required to have a valid commercial license and authorization to practice advertising activities.

The "Mawthooq" license reflects the Commission's commitment to organizing and advancing the digital media sector, ensuring quality content, and building trust between advertisers and their audiences. Applications can be submitted easily through the online platform.
