TL;DR. Guinea’s commercial registry is the RCCM (Registre du Commerce et du Credit Mobilier), reached in this guide through the OHADA federated portal https://rccm.ohada.org. That host did not respond when last checked: the connection timed out and returned no page. Because no portal page could be read, extract fees are unknown rather than free; confirm at source. This page does not prescribe enhanced due diligence.
What is the official Guinea business registry?
Guinea’s commercial registry is the RCCM under OHADA’s Uniform Act Relating to General Commercial Law. Guinea ratified the OHADA treaty on 14 June 1994. Operations sit with the greffe of the Tribunal de Commerce de Conakry and regional commercial courts.
None of the portal’s search screens could be reached, because rccm.ohada.org did not answer.
The OHADA organisation site is a legal-framework site, not the RCCM query interface. Confirm current access at source.
APIP is a separate agency and is not covered by this guide.
What can you search?
Nothing could be searched. Corporate name, trade name, RCCM number and legal-form filters sit behind an unresponsive portal, and beneficial ownership fields could not be confirmed; confirm at source.
How much does it cost?
| Item | Cost (local) | Cost (USD, approx.) |
|---|---|---|
| Basic name search (OHADA portal) | Unknown | Unknown |
| Electronic RCCM extract | Unknown | Unknown |
| English translation add-on | Unknown | Unknown |
| Consular legalization | Unknown | Unknown |
No portal fees or intermediary tariffs could be confirmed while rccm.ohada.org does not answer, so the table above reads unknown rather than free; confirm at source.
Do you need a local account or ID?
Optional. The portal did not respond, so its account gate could not be confirmed; an account has been reported as required. No Guinean identity requirement could be confirmed either.
Is the website in English?
The RCCM portal did not answer, and the register has been reported as not in English; confirm at source.
What’s the turnaround time?
Unknown. No turnaround time could be confirmed while the portal does not answer; confirm at source.
Is there an API?
No public API is documented for the RCCM.
What you legally cannot do
OHADA bulk-scraping restrictions still apply in principle, although the portal’s own terms could not be read. Whether Guinea appears on a FATF monitoring list is not confirmed here; confirm at the FATF source. This page does not prescribe enhanced due diligence.
Practical tips for foreign compliance buyers
- The published RCCM address did not answer. Try again later, or request a search at the Conakry greffe. An unreachable portal is not a nil result.
- The OHADA organisation site is not the search portal. Confirm at source.
- RCCM number remains the identifier to collect from counterparty papers when you can obtain an extract by other means.
- FATF listing status is not restated here; confirm at source. This page does not prescribe a screening workflow.
For OHADA context see Global Business Due Diligence Guide.
Alternatives if you cannot access the RCCM directly
- Tribunal de Commerce de Conakry physical greffe request via local counsel.
- Third-party intermediary tariffs, such as those quoted by Schmidt and Schmidt, are not official RCCM fees.
