Commercial Registry / Internal Trade Development Authority; GAFI for relevant incorporation and investment services

Commercial registration evidence should be matched to the office that maintains the entity’s record. Digital government services can support particular applications, but they should not be described as one complete free public company database.

The General Authority for Investment and Free Zones (GAFI) provides incorporation and investment-related services. A GAFI document should be identified by its purpose and connected to the commercial-registration evidence where relevant.

Identifier

Commercial registration number and issuing office

Provide the exact Arabic legal name, full commercial registration number, issuing registry office and incorporation or registration evidence. Record tax identifiers separately; an investment or GAFI reference is not an interchangeable commercial registration number.

Documents

DocumentWhat it shows
Commercial register extractThe available registered particulars within the extract issued by the relevant office. Confirm record scope, recency, access and certification for the entity.
Incorporation and constitutional documentsAvailable incorporation, articles and amendment evidence, including relevant GAFI documents where that service was used. Obtain particular documents through their proper custodian.
Company-held ownership and authority recordsMember or shareholder evidence, appointments and transaction authorisations supplied through an appropriate lawful route where registration records leave gaps.

Worth knowing

  • A commercial registration number without its issuing office can leave the identity match incomplete. Retain the office and exact name in every subsequent request.
  • GAFI incorporation or investment evidence and a commercial register extract serve different purposes. Neither should be assumed to prove every activity licence.
  • Ownership disclosures depend on the legal form, record and permitted access. Do not promise a complete public beneficial ownership result from a commercial-registration search.
  • Keep Arabic originals with translations. Confirm certification and any separate authentication required by the receiving institution.

Questions

What should I provide for an Egyptian company search?

Provide the exact Arabic legal name, full commercial registration number, issuing registry office and incorporation or registration evidence. Record tax identifiers separately; an investment or GAFI reference is not an interchangeable commercial registration number.

Does a registry result establish all beneficial owners?

Registered officials and direct holders have different roles. Trace relevant corporate holders and assess control separately. Obtain lawful supporting evidence where the accessible record leaves an ownership gap.

Can I request certified records?

Specify the exact document, certification and receiving institution requirements. Availability and access are confirmed for the request; price and expected turnaround are confirmed when the order is accepted.
