Quick answer
For a new business, do not treat the Commercial Register as an isolated formality: DirectEntreprise brings together several steps with OMPIC, the registry, DGI and CNSS. For an existing business, changes, filings or information requests follow specific processes according to need.
What to check before you begin
Three needs must be distinguished: registering a business, obtaining an extract or information, and changing the data of an existing business. The formalities and documents differ; choose the service corresponding to the action you want to complete.
This guide focuses on the action to complete: understanding the procedure, preparing the right information and switching to the official portal at the appropriate time. e-services.ma remains a private, independent website and does not replace the public administration.
Requirements and preliminary checks
- Be a company or trader subject to registration under the applicable legislation.
- Have the incorporation documents and information required for the legal form.
- Identify the competent registry or digital route.
Documents and information to prepare
The list below is intended to help you prepare. If the official portal displays a different or more precise list for your situation, the official list takes precedence.
- Company information: name, registered office, activity and managers.
- Incorporation documents and articles when required.
- Identity documents and supporting evidence required by the legal form.
- References for formalities already completed in the business-creation process.
How to complete the procedure: the steps
- For a creation, prepare the project and required deeds.
- Use DirectEntreprise when your formality is integrated into the platform.
- Enter the information intended for the register without inconsistencies with the articles of association and other declarations.
- Complete the required validations and payments.
- Keep the number and issued extracts or certificates and update the register when a change must be declared.
Fees, deadlines and information that may change
Fees vary by formality. The Justice portal or DirectEntreprise displays the amounts for the process concerned; private professional fees must be presented separately.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Enter an activity or address that differs from the articles of association.
- Confusing the registry number, ICE and tax identifier.
- Forgetting to declare a change subject to registration.
- Confuse filing financial statements with simply consulting the commercial register.
