How do you register with the CNRC in Algeria?

Registration in the trade register is done either at the CNRC counter of your wilaya, or online through the SIDJILCOM platform (sidjilcom.cnrc.dz). You must first reserve a company name (negative certificate), then submit your file with the notarized articles of association, the NIF and proof of registered office.

What does CNRC registration cost in 2026?

For a natural person (auto-entrepreneur, trader): around 4 500 DZD. For a company (SARL/EURL): around 11 500 DZD. Additional fee: 800 DZD for the negative certificate reserving the company name.

What is the CNRC company name form?

The name form is the document used to reserve the trade name of your future company. You submit several names, the CNRC checks availability and issues a negative certificate valid for six months (renewable once).

Which documents are needed for CNRC registration?

Signed official form, negative certificate for the company name, notarized articles of association (for SARL/EURL), proof of registered office (lease contract or title deed), copy of the manager's national ID card or passport, receipt for payment of the registration duties.

How long does it take to obtain a trade register extract?

On average 7 to 15 working days after a complete file is submitted. The timeline can drop to 3 to 5 days if you go through the AAPI (formerly ANDI) one-stop desk for investment projects.
