Choose the right register

Article 52 of the Civil Code expressly makes the unified state register open to public inspection. Immediate PDF access is not documented. The Law on Enterprises identifies the Tax Department and its tax offices as registration authorities. [1] [2]

“At bellige almak” is an electronic application service. Start by entering applicant details. For information about an existing company, request information from the responsible registry. [3]

Register and filed documents

The Law on Enterprises covers registration, reorganisation and liquidation information. The registration authority retains articles and their amendments. Branches and representative offices also require registration. [2] [1]

A duplicate is a separate procedure

Under Article 19, a company can request a duplicate of a lost registration certificate in writing. The law specifies five calendar days. This concerns the company’s lost certificate and is not a general turnaround for a third-party enquiry. [2]

Avoid common mistakes

  • “At bellige almak” is a registration procedure. Personal taxpayer accounts are intended for the holder’s own tax affairs. Contact the competent registry for information about another company. [3] [4]
  • Three-day company registration and the five-day lost-certificate procedure are different transactions. Neither establishes turnaround for a third-party registry enquiry. [2]

Frequently asked questions

Is registry access restricted to Turkmen nationals?
