National Center for Falcons hosts workshop on digital licensing for breeding centers

The National Center for Falcons recently hosted a workshop at the 2026 International Falcon Breeding Farms Auction, focusing on digital licensing services for breeding centers. This workshop, part of the International Falcon Breeding Farms Auction 2026, detailed the process of obtaining licenses, the necessary requirements for establishing and running these centers, and the digital services available through Fatri platform, managed by the National Center for Wildlife Development.

Mohammed Al-Muqrin, Director of Licensing and Permits, outlined the regulatory framework emphasizing responsible breeding, species conservation, genetic diversity protection, welfare standards, and regulatory adherence. To establish a breeding center, one must submit seven essential documents, including a license application, project plan, environmental impact assessment, site details, identity proof, land ownership documentation, and a lease agreement.

The electronic licensing process through Fatri involves submitting a request, specialist review, fulfilling requirements, departmental approval, fee payment, and receiving the license, which typically takes five working days. The workshop highlighted impressive figures: over 531,000 licenses and permits issued, serving 135,000 users, with a 92.2% satisfaction rate.

The average license issuance time is 4.5 days, and the annual licensing growth rate stands at 39%. Fatri platform offers various wildlife services, from falcon passports to integration with government platforms, streamlining procedures and reducing time for users.
