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.

Can CNRC registration be done online on SIDJILCOM?

Yes. The SIDJILCOM platform supports the negative certificate request, the submission of the registration file and status tracking. The final collection of the trade register extract is done in person at the wilaya branch.

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

Décret exécutif n° 23-169 of 24 April 2023 (art. 9) requires the CNRC and the associated administrations to validate and confirm the registration request within three (3) days. That period belongs to the administration and we do not promise it.

How do you modify or cancel a trade register entry?

Any change (manager, address, activity) must be declared to the CNRC within 2 months. Cancellation is done through SIDJILCOM or at a branch with the DGI tax clearance and the CASNOS/CNAS certificates.
