TL;DR. Oman’s commercial register is maintained by the Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Investment Promotion (MOCIIP) via the Invest Easy portal at https://business.gov.om. That host returned a server error with no page body when last checked. No search form, extract fee or login screen could be read, so fees in this guide read unknown rather than free; confirm at source. Related hosts named below are not confirmed here. This page does not claim those hosts loaded, timed out, or failed to resolve. This page does not prescribe enhanced due diligence.
What is the official Oman business registry?
The Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Investment Promotion (MOCIIP) operates Oman’s commercial register under the Commercial Companies Law. The named public search portal is the Invest Easy platform, also described as the Oman Business Platform (OBP). The address in this guide remains https://business.gov.om. That host returned a server error with no page body when last checked, and no replacement search address is published.
The commercial register covers limited liability companies (LLCs), sole proprietorships, public and closed joint-stock companies, branch offices of foreign companies, and holding companies. MOCIIP assigns each registered entity a Commercial Registration (CR) number, which serves as the primary identifier across government systems.
All companies operating in Oman are required to renew their CR annually. Lapsed renewals have been reported as a material risk indicator; confirm current status at source when a search is reachable.
What can you search?
Nothing could be searched on business.gov.om: the host returned a server error with no page body. CR number, company name and activity-code fields are therefore not confirmed here; confirm at source.

Practical tips for foreign compliance buyers
- The host returned a server error with no page body. business.gov.om is not a working search right now.
- CR number is the named anchor identifier. The Commercial Registration number is the primary cross-reference used by MOCIIP, tax authorities, and the Central Bank of Oman. It is not a confirmed search field here.
- Annual renewal. Omani companies renew their CR annually. A lapsed CR has been reported as a risk indicator; confirm at source when a search is reachable.
- UBO. Ministerial Decision No. 424/2023 has been reported as requiring beneficial-owner information on the Oman Business Platform. Public access to that data is not confirmed here. Confirm at source. This page does not prescribe a screening workflow.
- FATF. Whether Oman appears on a FATF monitoring list is not confirmed here. Confirm at the FATF source. This page does not prescribe enhanced due diligence.
Alternatives if you cannot access Invest Easy directly
- In-person MOCIIP offices: For certified extracts, MOCIIP regional offices in Muscat and governorates have been reported to accept walk-in or appointed requests; confirm at source.
Local data suppliers
- Info-clipper. Named international commercial data aggregator with Oman coverage. Coverage of a live extract path is not confirmed here.

FAQ
Can a foreign company access the Oman registry directly?
Not confirmed. https://business.gov.om returned a server error with no page body when last checked, so there is no confirmed CR search.
What is the CR number in Oman?
The Commercial Registration (CR) number is assigned by MOCIIP at the time of company registration. It is the primary entity identifier used across Omani government systems. It is not a confirmed search field here.
What entity types are registered with Invest Easy?
MOCIIP registers limited liability companies (LLCs), sole proprietorships, public and closed joint-stock companies, holding companies, branch offices of foreign companies, and representative offices. Foreign ownership rules sit in the Foreign Capital Investment Law; confirm current sector exceptions at source.
Does Oman have a beneficial ownership (UBO) registry?
Not confirmed here. Ministerial Decision No. 424/2023 has been reported as requiring beneficial-owner information. No UBO search screen could be reached, because the host returned a server error with no page body. Confirm at source.
How current is the data in Invest Easy?
Not confirmed. The host returned a server error with no page body and publishes no statement of how current its data is.
Is Oman on the FATF grey list?
Not confirmed here. Confirm at the FATF source. This page does not prescribe enhanced due diligence.
What’s the difference between the commercial register and tax/financial filings?
The commercial register at MOCIIP covers entity existence, structure, and authorisation to operate. Tax registration is managed separately by the Tax Authority of Oman. Financial statements for public joint-stock companies are disclosed through the Muscat Stock Exchange (MSX); private company accounts are not confirmed as publicly accessible through the commercial register.
