Choose the right register

The Oman Business Platform is the government portal for commercial registrations and other business services. Searching a Commercial Registration entry and requesting a Business Certificate are separate functions. According to the official description, the lack of an Omani identity card does not exclude a user from public search. [1] [2]

Names and abbreviations explained

CRCommercial Registration: Commercial registration. The official search provides name, registration date, legal form and status, with a detailed view for the result. [1]
PKIPublic Key Infrastructure: Technology for electronic identification. The service pages specify a PKI-enabled Omani ID or Resident Card for certain certificates and subsequent retrieval. [2] [3]
My Requested Business CertificatesPreviously requested business certificates: Retrieval area for ordered certificates. The official instructions limit availability there to five days from the request. [3]

Check the name, registration date, legal form and status. Open the result for registry details. [1] [4]
Request the registration certificate
Open Request Business Certificates and select Start the Service. The current route requires sign-in. Citizens and residents can use an ID card and reader or Mobile ID. Non-resident investors select Non-Residents and use the email-based access route shown there. [2] [4]

Public eligibility and actual sign-in

The service page distinguishes the publicly available Commercial Registration Certificate from other certificates. For those other certificates, it lists citizens and foreign persons holding a PKI-enabled Omani ID or Resident Card. The current start button leads to sign-in before document selection. [2] [4]

Non-resident investors

The current sign-in page offers a separate area for investors without an Omani identity or residence permit. The linked registration form requests personal and contact information, passport details, nationality and information about additional passports. [4]

Download documents and choose the language

The official description confirms download after payment. It does not specify a file format or document language. Specify the required version before ordering if you need evidence in a particular language or a certified form. [2]

Paper and shipping

Documents are supplied as downloads. If you need paper, contact portal support at Info@tejarah.gov.om with the required document type and delivery address. [2] [4]

Avoid common mistakes

The free My Requested Business Certificates function retrieves documents already ordered. It does not waive the OMR 5 request fee. [2] [3]
The five-day period concerns availability in the retrieval area. It is neither the duration of the company’s registration nor a stated validity period for the certificate. [3]

Frequently asked questions

Do I need an Omani ID to search?

The service description makes public search available to all users without documents or approval. Enter the verification code in the search form. Document orders have separate requirements. [1] [4]

When can I download a paid certificate?

According to the service page, immediately after payment is processed. Save the file yourself because the subsequent retrieval area specifies availability for only five days. [2] [3]
