CASNOS Clearance Certificate: getting the document without a blocked file
The attestation de mise à jour proves that your position as a self-employed contributor is in order. It is ordered from the CASNOS online space, but it presupposes one thing: that the year's contribution has been declared and paid. Here is the full chain, from computing the assessment base to collecting the document.

What the clearance certificate certifies
CASNOS is the social security fund for non-salaried persons carrying on an activity on their own account: traders, craftsmen, liberal professions, majority managers and auto-entrepreneurs. The attestation de mise à jour establishes that, as at its date of issue, the contributor is up to date with obligations towards the fund.
It proves neither the existence of the business, nor tax compliance, nor the affiliation of any employees, which falls to a different fund. It answers a single question: has the self-employed person's contribution been declared and paid?
The document appears explicitly in the list of documents a contributor can order from the fund's online platform, alongside the certificate of receipt of a retirement or survivor pension and the certificate of receipt of an invalidity pension.
Ordering the certificate from the online space
The CASNOS online platform is intended exclusively for the fund's members. It gives access to the account statement, to online filing of contribution bases and of activities, to document ordering and to electronic payment by CIB card.
Access is not open. The official user manual is explicit: the insured person must attend their CASNOS agency and collect the username and password given to them by the officer in charge of accounts. It is then advisable to personalise the password at first connection, then to enter the telephone number and email address in the profile.
The members' online space is reachable from the fund's institutional website: https://www.casnos.dz
The contributor space, which also offers online affiliation requests, the non-affiliation certificate and a contribution simulator, is at: https://damancom.casnos.dz
Ordering, step by step
The path described by the platform's official manual is as follows.
- Collect your credentials at the CASNOS agency, from the officer in charge of accounts, then personalise the password at first connection.
- Declare the contribution base if the invoice for the year to be regularised does not appear in the list. The declaration goes into processing and triggers a notification within 24 hours, with a status that becomes validated or rejected.
- Declare the activity if it is not yet registered, entering the details and uploading the documents evidencing the activity. Here too a notification arrives within 24 hours.
- Pay the contribution. The online invoicing service displays the invoices and lets you add them to the basket before paying by CIB card, in the pending payments section.
- Open the Documents menu, then click the add-order button at the top right of the page.
- Select the attestation de mise à jour from the list of available documents, then confirm the order.
- Track the notification. The order can be amended or cancelled while it is being processed. A notification then indicates whether the document is ready for collection, or whether the order has been rejected, stating the reason.
The contribution calendar, a precondition of clearance
A clearance certificate cannot be obtained independently of payment. The platform's official manual restates the due-date rule: the annual contribution falls due from 1 January and is payable by 30 June of the current year at the latest for the non-agricultural sector, and by 30 September for the agricultural sector.
In other words, the first half of the year is the natural regularisation window. Waiting until year end to order a certificate exposes you to an order rejected for unpaid contributions, precisely when a tender or credit file requires it.
| Sector | Due from | Payable by |
|---|---|---|
| Non-agricultural | 1 January of the current year | 30 June of the current year |
| Agricultural | 1 January of the current year | 30 September of the current year |
Base and rate: what decree 26-257 changed
Executive decree no. 26-257 of 15 July 2026, published in Official Journal no. 53 of 23 July 2026, rewrote article 14 of executive decree no. 15-289 of 14 November 2015 on the social security of non-salaried persons. That is now the text governing the computation of your contribution.
The rate remains set at 15 % of the base, now expressly split into 7.5 % for social insurance and 7.5 % for pensions. The annual base may not be lower than the annual national guaranteed minimum wage, nor exceed twenty times that annual amount. Both bounds are therefore indexed to the SNMG and move without any new decree.
For the first year of activity, the base is set at the annual SNMG. From the third year onwards, the annual contribution may not be lower than the average contribution of members carrying on the same activity in the same wilaya for the previous year, an amount fixed by order of the minister responsible for social security. As those orders have not been published, no amount can be advanced for that rule: the order must be consulted once issued.
Where no declaration is filed within the deadlines, the fund may provisionally set the contribution on the basis of the previous year's base increased by 5 %, and the decree states that the increase is definitively acquired by the fund. That is the best reason to declare your base online rather than let it drift.
Auto-entrepreneurs keep their favourable regime: they may pay, at their option, 24,000 DA as the annual contribution, or the amount computed under the decree's ordinary rules.

The amounts that apply today
Beware of a point that misleads most of the content available online. The decree quotes no minimum contribution amount: it sets an indexed rule. The minimum is computed from the SNMG in force, set at 24,000 DA per month since 1 January 2026, that is 288,000 DA per year.
The resulting minimum contribution is therefore 43,200 DA per year, that is 15 % of 288,000 DA. It is a derived amount, not a figure written in the text, and any revaluation of the SNMG will move it automatically.
The figure of 32,400 DA, still widely repeated, derives from an SNMG that predates June 2020. It no longer matches the current indexed floor. If a counter invoices you that amount during the transition, that is a fund practice and not the result of the computation set out in the text in force.
| Item | Rule under decree 26-257 | Amount with the SNMG in force |
|---|---|---|
| Contribution rate | 15 % of the base | 7.5 % social insurance and 7.5 % pension |
| Minimum base | Annual SNMG | 288,000 DA |
| Maximum base | 20 times the annual SNMG | 5,760,000 DA |
| Minimum contribution | 15 % of the minimum base | 43,200 DA per year, derived amount |
| Maximum contribution | 15 % of the maximum base | 864,000 DA per year, derived amount |
| First year of activity | Base set at the annual SNMG | Contribution equal to the derived minimum |
| Auto-entrepreneur option | Flat amount at the contributor's choice | 24,000 DA per year |
The mistakes that get an order rejected
- Ordering the certificate before declaring the year's base. Without a validated declaration, the invoice does not exist and neither does clearance.
- Waiting until December. The contribution falls due from 1 January and is payable by 30 June at the latest for the non-agricultural sector.
- Not declaring at all, in the belief that it saves time. The fund may set the contribution on the previous year's base increased by 5 %, and that increase remains definitively acquired by the fund.
- Keeping 32,400 DA as the minimum. That amount derives from an SNMG that predates June 2020 and no longer matches the indexed floor under decree 26-257.
- Ignoring the third-year rule. From the third year of activity, a comparative floor by activity and by wilaya applies, the amount of which will be fixed by order.
- Not collecting credentials at the agency. The online space is not open access: the username and password are handed over by the officer in charge of accounts.
