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 answer when last checked: the connection timed out after 25 seconds and again after 45 seconds, and the plain HTTP address redirected to the same unresponsive site. The domain itself still exists; the connection simply returns nothing. https://www.ohada.org is online as the OHADA organisation site, not an RCCM search form and not a replacement register. Because no portal page could be read, extract fees are unknown rather than free; confirm at source.
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.
https://www.ohada.org is the organisation brochure site, published in French, English, Portuguese and Spanish. It is not the RCCM query interface.
APIP (apip.gov.gn) is a separate site 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?
Unknown. The portal did not answer, 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 is not in English. The organisation site ohada.org has an English version, but that is not the registry search.
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. Record the purpose of any AML or KYC search. FATF listing status is not covered by this guide; confirm at source.
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.
- ohada.org is not the search portal. It is the organisation’s own site, not the register.
- RCCM number remains the identifier to collect from counterparty papers when you can obtain an extract by other means.
- FATF, political and mining ownership claims in earlier editions of this guide are not restated here; confirm at source.
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.
- OpenCorporates: very limited Guinea coverage; not compliance-grade.
- Third-party intermediary tariffs, such as those quoted by Schmidt and Schmidt, are not official RCCM fees.
Local data suppliers
