The Department of Trade and Industry – Zamboanga City Office (DTI-ZCO) announces that all applications for Promo Permits and Repair Shop Accreditation will now be processed online through the DTI Integrated Registration Information System (IREGIS), in line with the agency’s commitment to digital transformation and ease of doing business.

The shift to online processing aims to provide businesses and service providers with a more convenient, efficient, and accessible platform for securing the necessary permits and accreditations. Through the DTI IREGIS portal, applicants can submit requirements, monitor the status of their applications, and receive updates without the need for multiple visits to DTI offices.

Promo Permit applications are required for businesses conducting sales promotion campaigns, while Repair Shop Accreditation ensures that repair and service establishments comply with applicable standards and regulations, thereby promoting consumer protection and service excellence.

DTI-ZCO encourages all concerned businesses, establishments, and service providers to familiarize themselves with the DTI IREGIS platform and transition to the online application process. The initiative supports the government’s broader efforts to modernize public service delivery and create a more business-friendly environment.

For inquiries and assistance regarding the online application process, applicants may contact DTI-ZCO through our hotline number 991-2705 / 0977-811-1711 or visit the DTI IREGIS portal for detailed guidelines and instructions.
