Sudan mit.gov.sd: Parking Page, Not a Register Search

TL;DR. https://mit.gov.sd loads a generic parking template (Home / Our Jobs / Partners / Testimonials / Blog / Contact, with Los Angeles location tags). www.mit.gov.sd shows the same. It is not a Registrar of Companies search form, and no replacement official host is published. Representative fees of USD 50 to 200 appear in older accounts and cannot be confirmed; confirm at source.

What is the official Sudan business registry?

Sudan’s company registry is the Registrar of Companies under the Ministry of Industry and Trade, under the Companies Act 2015. The published host https://mit.gov.sd is a parking page, not a search screen, and no replacement host is published.

What can you search?

Nothing online. mit.gov.sd is a parking page, and the historic route was an in-person search in Khartoum.

How much does it cost?

No fees are published; confirm at source.

Do you need a local account or ID?

There is no remote registry pathway. A local legal representative is the historic route.

Is the website in English?

The parking page is English boilerplate rather than a ministry site in English.

What’s the turnaround time?

Unknown. The published host is a parking page.

Is there an API?

No.

What you legally cannot do

OFAC Sudan sanctions history. Complete OFAC Sudan sanctions were revoked in October 2017. Residual SDN designations remain, including actors tied to Darfur, the 2021 coup, and the 2023 conflict. Screen Sudan-linked counterparties, including related parties, against the current OFAC SDN list and the EU Consolidated Sanctions List. No Sudan beneficial ownership register is published.

FATF listing status is not covered here. Check fatf-gafi.org at the time of use.

Practical tips for foreign compliance buyers

• mit.gov.sd is a parking page, not a working register.
• Enhanced due diligence and sanctions screening remain the baseline for Sudan-linked transactions, independently of the state of the ministry website.
• Identify which forces control the counterparty’s location (SAF vs RSF) as operational context. That is not a registry extract.
• Specialist Northeast Africa providers remain the realistic verification route while the ministry host is a parking page.

Alternatives if you cannot access the registry directly

• Specialist due-diligence providers with Sudan / Northeast Africa practice.
• OFAC SDN search at sanctionssearch.ofac.treas.gov.

Local data suppliers

No major international credit bureau is confirmed as a Sudan commercial substitute.
