Register the shop or stall you trade from online in three steps — choose the market and give your shop number, enter your ABSSIN, add the shop's details — and it is on the State market register at once. Also stall allocation, trading permits and trader fee management, with verifiable transaction trails.
Each licence is reviewed by its ministry, assessed by the Board of Internal Revenue on one notice to pay, and issued with a QR code anyone can verify.
Each of these is applied for separately. Open one to see what it involves, what to have ready, and start when you are.
Put the shop or stall you already occupy on the State market register — choose the market, zone and line online.
Tip: Three steps, no code: have your ABSSIN ready and the shop number exactly as painted on the shop. Your shop is registered at once.
Apply for a market stall, shop or kiosk.
Tip: Name the market and, if you know it, the line or section. Allocation is handled market by market, so a request that does not say where cannot be queued anywhere.
Renew your permit to trade in a market.
Tip: Renew before it lapses. Trading on an expired permit is what triggers enforcement, and the arrears are still due afterwards.
Move a stall or shop to another trader.
Tip: Both traders must be named. Until a transfer is recorded, the charges on that stall remain against the original holder.
Raise a problem in a market — sanitation, safety, drainage or a dispute.
Tip: Say exactly where in the market. A report tied to a location gets inspected; a general complaint about a whole market usually cannot be.
