Search step by step
Find the company and select the right evidence
Search the official directory
Open the Annuaire des Entreprises and enter the company name. Select the result with the correct local address. Public search and company entries do not require an account. [4]
Check the identity and registration
Compare identifier, legal form, address and status. The Immatriculation au RNE section identifies the RNE entry. Update dates can differ between source databases. [4]
Open the digital RNE certificate link
Select “Extrait RNE” or “Télécharger le justificatif d’immatriculation”. Follow the download link to INPI’s PDF export. [5]
Contact the local court for a required Kbis
The commercial court is the Tribunal de Première Instance, 14 rue Emile Sasco, BP 4215, 97500 Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon, phone +508 41 03 20. Provide the company name and identifier. Confirm ordering, fees, collection or delivery before arranging travel or a representative. [1]
Documents and fees
| Document / information | Contents and purpose | Fee | How to get it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Attestation RNE [3] [4] [5] | Public identification data and RNE registration; details depend on legal form and published information. | Free according to Service Public. | Company entry → Extrait RNE → INPI download. |
| Extrait Kbis [3] [1] [2] | Company extract from the competent RCS. | Ask the local court for its current extract fee. | Contact the court registry on +508 41 03 20. |
Choose the document your recipient needs
The RNE certificate contains public company identification information. Data excluded from public disclosure are omitted. The Kbis is issued by the court registry. If the recipient explicitly requests a Kbis, establish whether an RNE certificate serves the required purpose. [3]
Why the local Kbis procedure matters
At the hearing of 6 October 2025, the mayor of Miquelon-Langlade reported that obtaining a Kbis required travel to Saint-Pierre and that neither digital issue nor scanning was available. This is dated firsthand testimony. Confirm the current procedure with the court. [2] [1]
Access from overseas
You can open the public company entry without signing in. Contact the local court for a Kbis order. Provide the company details and your delivery address. [4] [1]
Avoid common mistakes
- Saint Pierre and Miquelon is a different jurisdiction from Saint-Pierre on Réunion. Use the court explicitly named for Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon. [1]
Frequently asked questions
Can I research a company online?
Yes. Public search and the RNE registration-certificate download require no account or payment. Compare the registered address to distinguish similarly named companies. [4]
