Search step by step
Obtain company information or a filed document
Identify the chamber
Establish the company’s registered location and choose the corresponding chamber in the FEDOCÁMARAS directory. The capital and Santo Domingo Province have separate entries and fees. [2] [4] [5]
Validate an existing certificate
Open “Consultas”, then “Validación del Registro Mercantil”. Enter the chamber, entity category, registration number and validation number from the existing certificate. This service validates a certificate; it is not a company-name search. [7]
Choose the information product
Request a Certificación for confirmation of particular register information. Request a Copia certificada for the text of a filed instrument, identifying its type, date and company. Santo Domingo’s service page explains both products. [3]
Establish portal access or direct application
The portal terms list applications for certificates and certified copies. Account registration offers Cédula (identity card) and Pasaporte (passport) as identification types. For managing other companies, the terms describe powers of representation and approval. Ask the chamber which access route fits your research. [6] [7]
Agree delivery before payment
Specify an officially issued digital document or paper copy. Portal terms distinguish these from an ordinary enquiry printout. Confirm PDF format, language, collection and international delivery for your particular document. [6] [5]
Documents and fees
| Document / information | Contents and purpose | Fee | How to get it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Certificación [3] [4] [6] | Official confirmation of particular company information held on the register. | Santo Domingo: DOP 1,000 in the currently linked tariff effective December 2022. | Identify the company and precise question to the responsible chamber; portal terms provide an application route. |
| Copia certificada [3] [4] [5] | Certified copy of a filed company instrument. | Santo Domingo: DOP 800 + 2 per page. Separate Province chamber: DOP 500 + 2 per page. | Specify document type and date. Province chamber collection follows its invoice and deadline rules. |
| Copias registradas [4] [5] | Copies from the register, separately priced from certified copies. | Both chambers described here: DOP 200 + 2 per page. | Agree the required records with the responsible chamber. |
Fees depend on the chamber
Santo Domingo’s currently linked tariff states an effective date of 1 December 2022. It lists DOP 1,000 for Certificaciones, DOP 200 plus 2 per page for Copias registradas, DOP 800 plus 2 per page for Copias certificadas and DOP 1,000 for a duplicate Registro Mercantil certificate. The separate Santo Domingo Province chamber publishes DOP 500 plus 2 per page for certified copies. DOP denotes Dominican pesos. Do not apply one chamber’s fees to another. [4] [5]
Official digital issue and enquiry printouts differ
Section Décimo of the portal terms provides for official documents with digital signatures or on security paper. An ordinary online enquiry and its printout become an official certificate only through formal certification. [6]
Collection and contact
The Province chamber requires the original invoice for collection. If missing, it requires a stamped company-letterhead statement from the legal representative. Documents should be collected within 30 calendar days after the stated delivery date. The chamber is at Megacentro, Local 8B, Avenida San Vicente de Paúl at Carretera Mella, Santo Domingo Este. Contact contacto@camaraprovinciasantodomingo.do or +1 809 518 7890. For delivery abroad, agree on the arrangements with the chamber before ordering. [5]
Interpret negative certificates narrowly
Santo Domingo’s policies state that where a requested document is not registered, the chamber certifies that absence. Where a company is not registered there, it similarly certifies its absence from that chamber. This is not a countrywide clearance. Check the company’s location and responsible chamber first. [8] [2]
