Search step by step
Check an existing company
Obtain the original Arabic name and registry details
Obtain the company name in its original script, registration number, registered office and issuing registry shown on a certificate. Compare them with tax or Chamber records without treating the registrations as interchangeable. [2]
Confirm the competent registry
The older eRegulations incorporation guide identifies the General Commercial Registry in Janzour and its Companies unit. Its telephone number +218 918 38 43 21 should be treated as a historical official contact. Confirm the current contact and jurisdiction before sending records or identity documents. [1]
Request a current official transcript
Request an official transcript of the identified company’s registry entry. Confirm whether an overseas third party may order it or requires authorisation. Agree record date, contents, certification, charges, language and delivery. [2] [1]
