The Ministry of Information announced Wednesday that the licensing deadline for media outlets operating in Syria has been extended until the end of December this year.
According to a statement published on the ministry’s official Telegram channel, the new deadline applies to media institutions licensed prior to Dec. 8, 2024, which are required to renew their licenses, as well as to institutions that have filed new licensing applications and need additional time to complete their supporting documents.
The ministry emphasized that any outlet failing to meet the new deadline will have its license or application cancelled.
The extension follows a June circular issued by the ministry that required all previously licensed outlets under the Directorate of Licensing to renew their permits within three months, as part of ongoing administrative updates in the national media framework.
