No account does not mean no applicant details

Company Documents is open to registered and unregistered users for their own and other companies. The application form includes QID and expiry-date fields, with mandatory mobile-number and email fields. [1] [2]

QAR 50 for an offprint, QAR 500 for file inspection

Page 2 of the official fee guide distinguishes a copy or certificate of specified registration data (QAR 50 per request) from viewing a specific registry file (QAR 500 per record). The file-inspection fee should therefore not be presented as the online-offprint price. The Single Window service page explicitly lists the registration offprint at QAR 50. [3] [1]

Digital delivery and language selection

Company Documents offers downloads, printing and email delivery. Choose the extract language in the application. “Immediate” describes the approximate processing time, not a postal delivery time. [1]

Companies in the Qatar Financial Centre

Use the QFC Public Register to check company details. Certified copies and signature attestations are separate services. The instructions for QFC firms lead through the “Client Portal” to the “CRO” section, where you select the service and pay its fee. [4] [5] [2]

Check financial regulation separately

The QFCRA publishes current and former authorised firms, approved individuals, registered funds and other regulatory lists. The public may view and print them. For registry extraction, the QFCRA specifies its headquarters and a fee; requests go to info@qfcra.com. The page does not state the amount. [6]

Paper and international delivery

MOCI printouts are available digitally. If you need a certified paper copy, contact MOCI at info@moci.gov.qa before ordering. QFCRA’s in-person information service is a separate regulatory service. [1] [6]

Avoid common mistakes

  • A free permit copy is not the same evidence as a commercial registration offprint. Select the document type required by its recipient. [1]
  • The QFC company register, CRO certification and QFCRA regulatory register serve different purposes and have different access routes. [4] [5] [6]

Frequently asked questions

Can I obtain documents for another company?

Yes. The “Single Window Company Documents” instructions expressly allow this service without portal registration. Other certificate types and QFC certification have separate access rules. [1] [2] [5]

Is the registration offprint available as an English PDF?

The service offers document downloads and a language selector. Choose the required language and check the preview before paying. [1]
