Registration in Mozambique

The Regulations on Registration and Licensing of Intermediary Electronic Service Providers and Operators of Digital Platforms (Decree no. 59/2023, of 27 October) , as amended by Decree no. 44/2025, 28 November requires the registration of Intermediate Electronic Services Providers and Operators of Digital Platforms. The Electronic Transactions Law defines the intermediate service provider as any person who, in representation of another, sends, receives and stores data messages, and also who provides network access services or provide services through a network. Any entity that performs such acts will qualify as an intermediate service provider and must be registered and licensed with INTIC. The registration requirement is applicable to Intermediate Electronic Services Providers and Operators of Digital Platforms that offer services to receivers based or located in Mozambique, regardless of where the providers are based.

The process of registration is in force now and INTIC is receiving such requests and it is expected that in near future they will be supervising.

It should also be noted that with the recent approval of Decree no. 70/2025, of 31 December, which approves the Cloud Computing Regulations (“CCR”) and Decree no. 71/2025, of 31 December, which approves the Data Centers Regulations (“DCR”), also requires registration and licensing and, when in force, INTIC will be expecting such registrations.
