RCI means Répertoire du Commerce et de l’Industrie, the Trade and Industry Directory. It covers natural and legal persons treated as merchants by law and carrying on commercial activity in Monaco, including sole traders, SA, SARL, SURL, SNC, SCS, SCA, economic-interest groupings and foreign companies.

What a company extract contains

The official description lists incorporation and registration details, legal form, name, objects, duration, office, capital, financial year-end and authorised officers. It also includes incorporation evidence, official annotations and entity status. Other entity types have corresponding differences in their fields. [3]

Electronic seal and printing

The portal help requires electronic transmission of the digital extract. It says printing removes the legal value of that digital document. Check the seal in the PDF signature panel and send the original file. [5]

Civil companies and beneficial owners

The fee schedule lists civil companies and beneficial ownership separately. Choose the register appropriate to the entity and the purpose of the evidence first. [2] [3] [5]

Official samples and reading guides

Avoid common mistakes

  • The help explicitly distinguishes public previews from sealed PDFs. [5]

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a new extract for each use?

The help permits electronic reuse of the same file. Recipients often require an extract less than three months old. Save the file locally before the download window expires. [5]
