Search step by step
Search and document application
Open public search
Enter the name or national company number in Search By Any Word / National Number. Enter the displayed verification code and choose Search. The authority describes the search as free and immediate. [1] [2]
Choose the required document
For an official extract, open the separate Commercial Register Extract / Commercial Statement service. Choose the extract when you need registry details for an existing business. A statement addresses a different selected registration matter. [3]
Sign in using the appropriate identity
The current sign-in page offers Unified National Access through Nafath for citizens and residents. Investors without a Saudi identity card or residence permit can select the separate notice and sign in with an investor account. This is not anonymous document purchasing. [4]
Choose document type and language
The ministry’s instructions lead through Public Services, Ministry of Commerce and Commercial Register Extract / Commercial Statement. Select the request, provide the beneficiary information and choose the printing language. Review the details and declaration before submission. The extract costs SAR 100; the listed processing time is within 72 hours. [3]

Access from abroad
Public search requires no sign-in. Extracts use a separate account, with investor access alongside citizen and resident options. Investor registration asks for identity and contact details and email verification. Confirm that you meet the investor-access requirements before registering. [1] [4]
Do I need my own commercial registration?
The ministry makes an explicit distinction: a Commercial Statement generally requires a valid registration, except for a statement confirming the absence of a registration. A register extract can be requested without holding a valid registration. Account and identification requirements still apply. [3]
Language, file and paper issue
The application offers Arabic and English as printing languages. The stated 72-hour period refers to processing the application. Arrange any paper delivery separately. [3]
If the electronic application fails
The ministry lists its branches as an alternative when the electronic service cannot be completed for a full working day. This establishes neither a general requirement to attend in person nor a postal delivery service. [3]
Avoid common mistakes
- The message No Records Founded was visible before any query was submitted. Only an executed search with the correct verification code can produce a search result. [1]
- Switching website language does not automatically translate every registry entry. Select the required issue language in the document application. [3] [1]
Frequently asked questions
Does every registry enquiry cost SAR 100?
No. Public search is free. The SAR 100 fee applies to the described registry extract. The same service lists other Commercial Statements as free. [2] [3]
Can I request an English extract?
The service lists Arabic and English and asks applicants to choose the printing language. This does not promise automatic English translation of all public search data. [3]
