The following steps must be followed on the Online Portal FOR ICASA NO LONGER ACCEPTS MANUAL APPLICATIONS

  • You will then receive an email with a link that you need to click to activate your registration.
  • Please also look in your Junk Mail if this message is not received.
  • When you use the system for the first time thereafter, the system will prompt you to submit all your or the company`s personal details in order that the Legal Entity can be approved.
  • After approval of the legal entity is granted you will be able to submit applications.
  • Please note that you can apply for licences in the newly created legal entity`s name or you may submit applications on behalf of other legal entities.
