The shift to online-only services wasn't just a change of channel. It shifted the responsibility for receiving the notification onto the individual.

Today, a QKB decision is considered communicated when it arrives in your account. If no one opens that account, the deadlines run the same.

What every subject needs to have in order

  • Active account on e-Albania, with the entity's data and not just the individual's.
  • Updated email and phone number, because notifications are duplicated there.
  • A responsible person who regularly checks the account, not just when something is expected.

Frequently asked questions

Can I physically go to the counter?

Services are provided only electronically through e-Albania.

How do I make the decision?

With an electronic seal in your account. No physical pickup required.

What if I don't see the notification?

Deadlines still apply. Therefore, regular account review is part of the job, not optional.
