TL;DR. Monaco’s commercial register is the Répertoire du Commerce et de l’Industrie (RCI) at https://teleservice.gouv.mc/rci/, whose heading reads Welcome to the online Directory of Trade and Industry of Monaco. The search box takes a company name, sign, acronym, personal name, RCI number, RSSC number or NIS. The home page says you can consult the public information of the Trade and Industry Directory free of charge, and the help pages say you can search and view a listing without logging in, that no extract is free of charge, and that the extract price is set by regulation rather than printed as a figure. https://www.gouv.mc/, https://monentreprise.gouv.mc/rci-immatriculer and the tariff document TARIFS_RCI_2026.pdf all blocked automated checks, so no euro extract price is quoted here; confirm at source.
What is the official Monaco business registry?
The RCI is Monaco’s commercial directory, at https://teleservice.gouv.mc/rci/. The help pages describe the online directory as a way to confirm the legal existence of a Monegasque company and to buy an extract, and state that the extract is signed by the Economic Development Department. The named operator, the Greffe du Tribunal de Première Instance, is the court registry behind it.
https://www.ccaf.mc is online and lands on https://ccaf.mc/, the site of the Commission de Contrôle des Activités Financières. https://www.gouv.mc/ blocked automated checks.
Monaco is not an EU member and uses the euro under a monetary agreement.
What can you search?
The search box on the RCI home page accepts:
- company name
- sign
- acronym
- name
- RCI number
- RSSC number
- NIS
The home page says you can consult the public information of the Trade and Industry Directory free of charge, and separately that you can consult the non-trading companies listed in the directory free of charge, linking to monentreprise.gouv.mc/en/inactive-companies. That monentreprise host blocked automated checks, so the inactive-companies page could not be read; confirm at source.
The help pages say public information is first-level information (general information, status, state, establishment, activity) and is a preview of the extract, offered as “See a preview of the extract” on result thumbnails. A full extract needs a login and a purchase. What a results row itself shows, including any director or shareholder list, is not stated beyond that help text; confirm at source.
Beneficial ownership: the help pages do not describe a public register of beneficial owners.
How much does it cost?
| Item | Cost (EUR) | Cost (USD, approx.) |
|---|---|---|
| Public listing / preview (home page copy) | Free of charge | Unknown |
| RCI extract | Unknown | Unknown |
The help pages say “No extract from the Trade and Industry Directory can be obtained free of charge” and that “The price of extracts is set according to the regulations in force”, pointing at a document on monentreprise.gouv.mc/rci-immatriculer. That landing page blocked automated checks, and so did the tariff document TARIFS_RCI_2026.pdf, so no euro extract price is quoted here; confirm at source. Viewing the public listing is free of charge, as the home page says. Dollar equivalents are unknown.
Do you need a local account or ID?
The help pages say: “You can search and view a company’s listing without having to log in or create a personal account.” The home page also carries a log-in link and a cart, and says to log in or create an account to purchase a dematerialised RCI extract, through Monguichet.mc. An account is therefore optional: viewing a listing needs none, buying an extract does. The search box asks for no local identity document and shows no captcha.
Is the website in English?
Partial. The page is served in French but its visible heading is in English, with an EN/Français switch, and the help pages are available in English. Official documents are typically French; confirm at source.
What’s the turnaround time?
Unknown for a plain search: the home page publishes no timing. The help pages say purchased online extracts are delivered to the buyer’s personal space once the transaction is validated, which covers paid checkout rather than a basic search.
Is there an API?
No public API is documented on the RCI home page.
What you legally cannot do
The help pages say a screen copy has no legal value and that only a purchased extract serves as legal justification, and that one extract copy per company is available every three months. Bulk scraping is not described as allowed. Beneficial ownership information held by intermediaries or SICCFIN is not published as a public portal here.
Practical tips for foreign compliance buyers
- The search fields are on the RCI home page. Search by name, or by RCI, RSSC or NIS number.
- A free listing is not a free extract. The home page offers public information free of charge; the help pages say no extract is free.
- The extract price is not published here. The tariff document could not be reached, and the help pages print no figure; confirm at source.
- CCAF (ccaf.mc) covers financial intermediaries. It is not the RCI.
- FATF. Check the current FATF lists at fatf-gafi.org.
Alternatives if you cannot access the registry directly
- CCAF (ccaf.mc): the approved financial activity list, not an RCI search.
- Help (documents.gouv.mc help): the RCI help pages cited above.
Local data suppliers
No Monaco-only bureau is listed here.
