TL;DR. Moroccan companies are registered with OMPIC (Office Marocain de la Propriete Industrielle et Commerciale). https://www.ompic.ma would not load securely when last checked, although http://www.ompic.ma opens the French agency site at /fr (Office Marocain de la Propriété Industrielle et Commerciale). The bare domain ompic.ma and societes.ompic.ma do not resolve at all. That home page links https://www.directinfo.ma, OMPIC’s own company-information product (Directinfo : Informations légales et financières sur les entreprises au Maroc - OMPIC), whose search box is disabled and whose navigation carries Mon compte and Mon panier. No dirham fee is published; confirm at source.

What is the official Morocco business registry?

OMPIC administers Morocco’s commercial registry (Registre du Commerce). The published address is the secure one, which would not load when last checked. Over plain HTTP the same host returns the OMPIC site in French, with a language dropdown including English, and the /en section opens as well.

That home page is news and navigation for IP and commercial services (marques, brevets, registre), not a company-search results page. Its Rechercher box searches the site’s own pages, and it carries no user ID or password field.

https://www.directinfo.ma is linked from that home page as an OMPIC product, Directinfo, and it opens. Its keyword search box is present but disabled, with the placeholder Entreprise, marque, design, brevet, so it is not a working search. The same page carries Mon compte and Mon panier.

societes.ompic.ma does not resolve and should not be used.

The OMPIC home page carries no working RC or ICE search form, and the Directinfo search box is disabled. Company name, ICE, RC and CNSS fields described in older copy are not confirmed here; confirm at source.

The tariffs page http://www.ompic.ma/fr/content/tarifs-rcc opens and describes two tariff grids and a reduction of up to 50% for online services, pointing at Directinfo and two PDFs. It prints no dirham figures itself; confirm at source.

No public beneficial ownership search could be found.

How much does it cost?

ItemCost (MAD)Cost (USD, approx.)
Basic company status checkUnknownUnknown
Company profileUnknownUnknown
Certified extractUnknownUnknown

No dirham figures appear on the tariffs page, so the table above reads unknown rather than free; confirm at source. No payment methods are published on the OMPIC home page either.

Do you need a local account or ID?

Directinfo shows both a public keyword search control, currently disabled, and Mon compte / Mon panier. An account is therefore optional on that page, though no working RC form could be reached to confirm what a search itself needs.

The OMPIC home page has no account fields, only a site search and a language dropdown. Neither it nor the Directinfo keyword box asks for a CIN or an ICE, so no local identity document is needed to reach either page.

Is the website in English?

Partial. The home page offers Arabic, Français and English, and the /en section opens with its search label in English. Directinfo is served as English but its visible copy is French (rechercher par mot clé). No working RC search could be reached to confirm its language; confirm at source.

What’s the turnaround time?

Unknown. No turnaround is published; confirm at source.

Is there an API?

No public API is documented on the OMPIC home page.

What you legally cannot do

OMPIC does not publish a dedicated terms-of-use page here. Do not assume bulk scraping is allowed.

Practical tips for foreign compliance buyers

  • The secure address does not load. https://www.ompic.ma would not open; the same host answers over plain HTTP.
  • societes.ompic.ma does not exist. The domain does not resolve.
  • Directinfo is linked but is not a working form. Its search box is disabled, and Mon compte sits on the same page.
  • ICE is still the usual Moroccan identifier in commercial practice, though no working search field here asks for it.
  • FATF. Morocco has been reported as removed from the grey list in February 2023; check the current lists at fatf-gafi.org.

Alternatives if you cannot access OMPIC directly

Local data suppliers

  • Dun & Bradstreet (dnb.com): a global business information provider.
  • Inforisk (inforisk.ma): a Moroccan business information provider, in French.

Use OMPIC for the official registration record when a search page is reachable. Directinfo is the OMPIC-linked product named on that home page.

FAQ

Can a foreign company access the Morocco OMPIC registry directly?

The secure address did not load, though the plain-HTTP home page did. No working ICE or RC search form could be reached, and the Directinfo search box was disabled.

What is the ICE number in Morocco?

ICE is Morocco’s common enterprise identifier. Its digit length and how a search treats it are not published here; confirm at source.

What entity types are registered with OMPIC?

SA, SARL and related commercial forms are Morocco’s usual types. The OMPIC home page does not list them as search categories.

Does Morocco have a beneficial ownership (UBO) registry?

No public beneficial ownership search could be found.

How current is the data in OMPIC?

The OMPIC home page publishes no statement of how current its data is.

Is Morocco on the FATF grey list?

Check the current FATF lists at fatf-gafi.org.

What is the difference between OMPIC and the Tribunaux de Commerce?

OMPIC is the central office. Physical filings sit with commercial-court greffes. That split is not reflected in any online search here.
