One of the most common questions we receive is: how long does Aramco vendor registration actually take? The honest answer: it depends — but here is a realistic guide.

Typical Timeline: 6–10 Weeks

For a company with all core documents in order, Aramco SACS registration typically takes 6–10 weeks. This covers document preparation, portal submission and Aramco’s internal verification process. Companies that require SACS-002 cybersecurity certification should add 4–8 weeks for that process, ideally running concurrently.

Breakdown by Phase

Factors That Slow Down the Process

• Incomplete or incorrect documents at submission — causes rejection and restarts the clock
• SACS-002 cybersecurity not completed before submission
• Expired compliance certificates discovered during Aramco’s verification phase
• Slow responses to Aramco’s follow-up queries
• ICV certificate not in place
