TL;DR. Andorra’s official commercial register is the Registre de Societats Mercantils (RSM). The named search host registres.ad is NXDOMAIN on this check (2026-09-04). govern.ad is HTTP 200 (title Portal oficial del Govern d’Andorra - Govern d’Andorra) and is the government portal, not an RSM company search form. Instant leftover is dropped. EUR fees are MISSING. priceMax 0 means Unknown, not verified free. Andorra is not an EU member. Andorra is not on the FATF grey list.

What is the official Andorra business registry?

The Registre de Societats Mercantils (RSM) is Andorra’s central register for commercial companies and legal entities. It operates under the Ministeri de Justícia i Interior of the Govern d’Andorra (Government of Andorra) and is the authoritative source for the legal existence, status, and structural data of companies incorporated in the Principality of Andorra.

The RSM search host cited in prior copy, registres.ad, is NXDOMAIN. Do not invent a working RSM search UI on that host. https://www.govern.ad 301/200s to https://www.govern.ad/ca/inici (title Portal oficial del Govern d’Andorra). That page is the official government portal, not the RSM company search.

Andorra’s legal framework for companies is governed primarily by the Llei 2/2007, del 22 de marc, de les societats anonimes i de responsabilitat limitada (Law on Limited Liability Companies and Public Limited Companies, as amended), and the Llei 20/2007, del 18 d’octubre, de la comptabilitat dels empresaris (Accounting Law). Andorra has progressively modernized its corporate and AML framework since opening to foreign investment under the Llei 10/2012 de regulacio de la inversio estrangera (Foreign Investment Law).

The main company forms registered with the RSM include:

• SL (Societat Limitada): private limited company, the most common form for operating businesses and foreign-owned subsidiaries.
• SA (Societat Anonima): public limited company (joint-stock), used for larger entities.
• SAIG (Societat Anonima d’Inversio Garantida): a specialized investment vehicle.
• Branches and representative offices of foreign companies.

What can you search?

Not on registres.ad: NXDOMAIN. Not on govern.ad: that HTML is the government portal, not an RSM name/status form. Historic field lists (company name, NRT, status, directors) are not live-cited as a working UI. Instant leftover is dropped.

Andorra’s UBO register under the Llei 14/2017 is not observed on govern.ad HTML in this check. Do not invent a public UBO search. The AFA (Autoritat Financera Andorrana) supervises AML compliance.

How much does it cost?

EUR figures are MISSING on this check. Drop EUR 10-15 / 20-25 leftover. Instant and Free leftover claims are dropped. priceMax 0 means Unknown, not verified free.

Do you need a local account or ID?

Account rules were not verified on a 200 RSM search page (registres.ad NXDOMAIN). govern.ad is not that search page.

Is the website in English?

No RSM English UI was verified. registres.ad NXDOMAIN. govern.ad is Catalan (ca/inici). Andorra’s official language is Catalan.

What’s the turnaround time?

Unknown. Instant leftover is dropped. registres.ad NXDOMAIN.

Is there an API?

No formal public API is available for the Andorran commercial register as of this check. A formal API is not live-cited.

What you legally cannot do

Andorra has transposed AML/CFT obligations through the Llei 14/2017 and has been progressively aligning with FATF standards and European norms. The following restrictions apply:

• Bulk automated extraction of RSM data for commercial redistribution is not authorized under historic RSM terms of use (host NXDOMAIN on this check).
• Personal data of directors, shareholders, and beneficial owners obtained from registry sources must be processed in accordance with Andorra’s data protection law (Llei qualificada 15/2003, del 18 de desembre, de proteccio de dades personals, as amended).
• Certified extracts may not be misrepresented as official Andorran government documents in foreign legal proceedings without proper apostille authentication.

Documents for use abroad will typically need an apostille stamp applied by the Govern d’Andorra. Andorra is a party to the Hague Apostille Convention.

Practical tips for foreign compliance buyers

• NRT is the primary identifier. Andorra uses the NRT (Numero de Registre Tributari), a tax registration number assigned by the ATA (Agencia Tributaria Andorrana), as the primary business identifier. Collect the NRT from any Andorran counterparty before beginning a registry lookup.
• Do not treat govern.ad as RSM search. It is the government portal (title Portal oficial del Govern d’Andorra).
• Foreign investment is open but relatively recent. Andorra opened its economy to foreign majority ownership only under the 2012 Foreign Investment Law. Pre-2012 entities may have complex ownership structures reflecting the historical requirement for Andorran majority ownership.
• AFA authorization register is a separate check. If your counterparty claims to be a licensed financial institution, investment manager, or insurance company, verify via the AFA register at afa.ad. That is not a substitute for an RSM search on a dead host.
• FATF status is clear. Andorra is not on the FATF grey list. See fatf-gafi.org for current status.

Alternatives if you cannot access the registry directly

• AFA supervised entity list (afa.ad): If the entity is a licensed financial institution or investment firm, the AFA authorization register is publicly accessible and provides authorization status, scope, and key personnel.
• Local attorneys and registered agents: Andorra-based law firms and fiduciaries offer company search and document retrieval. This is the practical route while registres.ad does not resolve.
• OpenCorporates: Has partial coverage of Andorran entities, useful for an initial name check, but data currency and completeness lag the RSM.

Local data suppliers

Andorra does not have a domestic commercial credit bureau comparable to Creditreform or Dun and Bradstreet. Foreign compliance buyers typically rely on:

• Local attorneys or fiduciaries in Andorra la Vella for registry extract retrieval and document interpretation.
• Spanish and French credit bureaus (e.g., Informa D&B for Spain, Ellisphere for France) for entities with cross-border operational ties, where supplementary trade data may be available.
• The AFA register for any regulated financial entity assessment.

FAQ

Can a foreign company access the Andorra registry directly?

Not at registres.ad on this check: NXDOMAIN. govern.ad HTTP 200 is the government portal, not RSM search. Instant leftover is dropped.

What is the NRT number in Andorra?

The NRT (Numero de Registre Tributari) is Andorra’s unified taxpayer and business registration number. It is assigned by the ATA (Agencia Tributaria Andorrana) upon registration and is the primary identifier across tax, company registry, and government procurement systems. Collect the NRT from any Andorran counterparty as the starting point for any registry verification.

Does Andorra have a public beneficial ownership register?

Not observed on govern.ad HTML in this check. Do not invent a public UBO portal. Historic copy that a register exists under the 2017 AML Law, supervised by the AFA and not publicly accessible online, is not a live search cite.

Is Andorra an EU member?

No. Andorra is a sovereign principality and is not a member of the European Union. Andorra has a monetary agreement with the EU that allows it to use the euro as its official currency and issue its own euro coins. Andorra has a customs union with the EU for industrial goods. EU company law directives and regulations do not directly apply in Andorra.

Is Andorra on the FATF grey list?

No. Andorra is not on the FATF Increased Monitoring list. See fatf-gafi.org for current status.
