South Sudan MTI: Coming Soon, eServices Login Hub

TL;DR. https://mti.gov.ss is online but shows only a Ministry of Trade and Industry Coming Soon page, which says the ministry site is under construction and that services are on the eServices portal. The address it names, https://www.trade.eservices.gov.ss/, is a Sign in / Register hub rather than a company-register search form. Representative fees of USD 50 to 150 appear in older accounts but are published on neither page; confirm at source. bss.gov.ss no longer resolves.

What is the official South Sudan business registry?

South Sudan’s commercial registry is administered by the Ministry of Trade and Industry (MTI) in Juba under the Companies Act 2012. The published host https://mti.gov.ss is a coming-soon page, not a search screen.

The coming-soon page names https://www.trade.eservices.gov.ss/ for trade licensing, registrations, and industry services. That host is a login and register hub offering “Sign in”, “Register” and “Create account”, and its service cards are unfilled placeholders. It is not a company-name search form.

The same page also names https://tradeinfohub.gov.ss, the South Sudan Trade Information Hub. That is a trade-procedures site covering export, import and HS codes, not a company register extract.

www.mti.gov.ss shows the same coming-soon page.

What can you search?

Nothing. mti.gov.ss shows only a coming-soon page, and trade.eservices.gov.ss presents a sign-in and register hub with no search fields or result columns in front of it.

How much does it cost?

No fees are published. Representative USD ranges appear in older accounts but are on neither page; confirm at source. The eServices hub mentions paying “service fees using mobile money, Cards and online banking from local banks” without giving a fee table.

Do you need a local account or ID?

The eServices hub requires an account. It says South Sudan citizens and residents use an ID and foreigners use a passport number. That is the hub’s own wording; the search form behind it could not be reached.

Is the website in English?

Yes on the coming-soon page and on the eServices welcome page. Arabic appears on the Trade Information Hub language toggle.

What’s the turnaround time?

Unknown. The ministry site is a coming-soon page, and the eServices hub could not be followed past its login.

Is there an API?

No.

What you legally cannot do

There is no public beneficial ownership register and no working MTI search. USD-denominated South Sudan payments may still draw correspondent-bank scrutiny, separately from the state of the ministry website.

FATF listing status is not covered here. Check fatf-gafi.org at the time of use.
