Choose the right register

ACPCE stands for Agence Congolaise Pour la Création des Entreprises. The agency supports company procedures and publishes a company list. RCCM means Registre du Commerce et du Crédit Mobilier, the commercial and movable-security register. Under OHADA law, the competent court registry or designated national office maintains it. [1] [4]

The directory lists the legal form, company name and RCCM number, with additional fields for capital and activities. For a current official record, request information from the responsible register. [2]

Distinguish electronic information and certification

Article 97 of the OHADA Act provides for electronic registry information and extracts or copies of published documents. Under Article 98, electronic information without expressly requested certification is only ordinary information. A certified electronic copy requires the specified authenticity and integrity safeguards. [4]

Local points of contact

ACPCE lists Avenue Cardinal Émile Biayenda (formerly Foch), telephone +242 06 766 81 72, for Brazzaville and Pool. For Pointe-Noire and Kouilou it lists Avenue Simon Kimbangou at the Moe Katt Matou junction, telephone +242 06 653 76 01. These addresses help establish jurisdiction. [3]

Avoid common mistakes

  • Congo-Brazzaville (CG) and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (CD) have separate registry offices. A CD registration number does not belong in this enquiry. [1]
  • Mon Entreprise is the linked formation portal. [1]

Frequently asked questions

Do I need Congolese nationality to use the list?

Public search does not require an account or proof of nationality. Orders for official documents are subject to the responsible office’s application requirements. [2] [4]
