Senegal Company Search Guide 2026: How to Verify a Senegal Business
TL;DR. Senegal’s RCCM (Registre du Commerce et du Credit Mobilier) is the OHADA commercial register. The Ministry of Justice portal is https://seninfogreffe.sn, titled Accueil - SEN’INFOGREFFE, with public search forms for Nom Commercial and Etat des Sûretés. The same page says access to all documents and services requires registration (S’inscrire / Se connecter). https://rccm.ohada.org did not respond when last checked, and https://www.apix.sn did not complete a secure connection. No extract tariff is published on SEN’INFOGREFFE, so costs read as unknown rather than free; confirm at source.
What is the official Senegal business registry?
The RCCM is the OHADA commercial register administered through greffe offices, including the Tribunal de Commerce de Dakar. SEN’INFOGREFFE live-cites itself as a Ministry of Justice portal for RCCM information across greffe offices.
https://rccm.ohada.org did not respond when last checked, so it is not a working search. https://www.ohada.org is the OHADA organisation site and https://www.ohada.com is UNIDA. Those are legal-framework sites, not Senegal’s RCCM search.
APIX / BCE company formation at apix.sn did not complete a secure connection, and this guide names no APIX search form.
What can you search?
The home page offers Nom Commercial (search by trade name) and Sûreté mobiliére. What the results contain, and whether any certified extract is free, is not shown there; confirm at source.
The home page says SEN’INFOGREFFE aims to give national, updated information on companies for all greffe offices in charge of the RCCM, and to dematerialise greffe procedures. That is the portal’s own description, not a description of what a signed-in extract screen shows.
How much does it cost?
| Item | Cost | Cost (USD, approx.) |
|---|---|---|
| Nom commercial form on SEN’INFOGREFFE | Unknown | Unknown |
| RCCM extract | Unknown | Unknown |
| Translation / apostille | Unknown | Unknown |
Third-party vendor prices are not the registry’s own, and seninfogreffe.sn publishes no tariff, so the table above reads unknown rather than free; confirm at source.
Do you need a local account or ID?
The home page carries public search forms and a separate S’inscrire / Se connecter step for all documents and services. No Senegalese national identity document is named on it, so an account is optional for searching and needed for documents.
Is the website in English?
No. SEN’INFOGREFFE is in French.
What’s the turnaround time?
Unknown. The portal publishes no turnaround time; confirm at source.
Is there an API?
No public API is published on the portal.
What you legally cannot do
OHADA member-state practice restricts bulk scraping and commercial redistribution of RCCM records without authorization. Document purpose of access.
Practical tips for foreign compliance buyers
- Use seninfogreffe.sn, not rccm.ohada.org. The OHADA federated host did not respond when last checked.
- Name search is not the document vault. The portal says registration is needed for documents and services.
- www.seninfogreffe.sn has a certificate name mismatch that stops it loading securely. Use the address without www.
- The portal does not publish FATF status. Check fatf-gafi.org.
Alternatives if you cannot access the RCCM directly
- Aggregator search (indicative only): OpenCorporates. Not for compliance-grade verification.
- ohada.org / ohada.com: Uniform Acts, not a Senegal extract form.
- Third-party extract vendors do not publish official tariffs.
Local data suppliers
- Creditinfo Senegal has been reported as a credit-bureau network member. It is not the RCCM.
