(San Pedro Sun) - The Ministry of Rural Transformation, Community Development and Local Government launched a digital trade license system on July 31st, introducing a new online process designed to streamline applications across Belize’s municipalities and rural authorities. The rollout featured the Trade License Management and Administration System (TRALMAS) and the Community Profile Information System (CPIS).
The ministry said TRALMAS replaces manual, paper-based procedures with separate portals for applicants and government staff, allowing business owners to apply for, track, pay for, and download QR-coded trade licenses online. The system was introduced under the Trade License Act to reduce processing delays, improve transparency, and make government services more accessible.
