Justice — Request related to the Commercial Register: practical guide

Quick answer. For a request linked to Morocco’s Commercial Register, distinguish the local register, handled through the competent court registry, from the Central Commercial Register managed by OMPIC. This distinction determines where to register or amend a business record and where to request certain certificates or legal information.

Local register: registration and changes

OMPIC explains that registration of a trader or company is carried out with the registry of the competent court under the applicable rules. Later changes such as address, company name, activity, capital or legal form must also be declared through the local register with the required file.

Central register: information and documents

The Central Commercial Register consolidates information transmitted by local registers. OMPIC provides services such as registration certificates, copies of entries, copies of legal acts and DirectInfo for consulting legal and financial company information.

Which service should you use?

• Create a company: use DirectEntreprise and the OMPIC creation guidance.
• Search a company or order information: use DirectInfo.
• Declare a change: check the local-register procedure and competent court.
• Obtain a Central Register document: use the specific OMPIC service for that document.

“Commercial Register” therefore describes a system with local and central components. Not every document is issued by the same office, and using the wrong channel can delay the request.

Before submitting anything

Identify whether your need concerns registration, amendment, a copy, a certificate or information search. Keep the business identifiers and references already assigned to the company, and verify the current official procedure before paying or sending supporting documents.

For an amendment, verify the company identifiers already recorded and the exact court jurisdiction before preparing the file. For information searches, use the central information service instead of assuming that the local registry must issue every copy.
