Tunisia Company Search Guide 2026: How to Verify a Tunisian Business
TL;DR. Tunisia’s business register is the Registre National des Entreprises (RNE). https://www.registre-entreprises.tn forwards straight on to https://www.registre-entreprises.tn/rne-public/, titled RNE Public and served in English, which builds its search in the browser, so no company-search form can be read from the page as delivered. The address without www, https://registre-entreprises.tn, does not resolve. No Tunisian dinar extract figures appear on that page, so fees in this guide are unknown rather than free; confirm at source.
What is the official Tunisia business registry?
The RNE is Tunisia’s central business register under Law No. 2018-52 of 29 October 2018, operated by the Ministère du Commerce. The named host is https://www.registre-entreprises.tn, which forwards immediately to /rne-public/.
The Matricule Fiscal (MF) is the statutory tax identifier issued by the Direction Générale des Impôts. No MF search field could be read from the RNE Public page.
MENAFATF membership is the regional AML frame. It is not a search path.
What can you search?
The RNE Public page builds its search in the browser, so no company-name, MF or RNE-number input can be read from it. The labels below have been reported previously rather than confirmed here:
- denomination sociale
- Matricule Fiscal
- RNE number
- status labels (Actif, Dissous, En liquidation, Radié)
What a free profile contains, and what a paid extract adds, could not be confirmed, and nor could any beneficial-ownership field; confirm at source.
How much does it cost?
| Item | Cost (TND) | Cost (USD, approx.) |
|---|---|---|
| Basic company profile | Unknown | Unknown |
| Status certificate | Unknown | Unknown |
| Full legal extract | Unknown | Unknown |
| Certified copy of statutes | Unknown | Unknown |
No Tunisian dinar figures appear on the RNE Public page, so the table above reads unknown rather than free; confirm at source. No payment method is published there either.
Do you need a local account or ID?
No. The RNE Public page carries neither a sign-in form nor a search form that can be read from the page as delivered, and no CIN is asked for there. That is why an account and a local ID are shown as not required; it does not confirm that a paid extract needs no ID. Confirm at source.
Is the website in English?
Partial. The RNE Public page declares itself English. Whether French or Arabic labels appear once the search loads could not be confirmed; confirm at source.
What’s the turnaround time?
Unknown. The RNE Public page publishes no turnaround time; confirm at source.
Is there an API?
No public API is documented on the RNE site.
What you legally cannot do
The RNE terms and the INPDP rules were not read for this guide; confirm at source. Do not bulk-extract, and document the purpose of each lookup when a search form is available.
Practical tips for foreign compliance buyers
- Follow /rne-public/. The main address is only a forwarding stub.
- www is required. registre-entreprises.tn without www does not resolve.
- The search loads in the browser. Open the page in a browser to see the form; the delivered page does not show its fields.
- MF still matters as the statutory identifier when you have it from the counterparty.
- FATF. The FATF country page for Tunisia carries the 18 October 2019 statement that Tunisia is no longer subject to FATF’s monitoring process; confirm at source.
Alternatives if you cannot access RNE directly
- OpenCorporates: incomplete. Name-check only.
- Tunisian government portal: https://www.tunisie.gov.tn is online. It is not the RNE search.
Local data suppliers
No retail directory could be confirmed for Tunisia. https://tn.kompass.com and https://tn.kompass.com/ both blocked automated checks, so neither is listed here.
FAQ

The host is online and forwards to RNE Public, whose search builds in the browser, so no company-search form can be read from the delivered page.

The tax and registry identifier. No search input for it could be confirmed; confirm at source.
What entity types are registered with the RNE?
SARL, SA, entreprise individuelle, partnerships, succursales and GIE under Tunisian law. Filters for those types could not be confirmed on the page.
Does Tunisia have a beneficial ownership (UBO) registry?
No beneficial-ownership search could be found on the RNE Public page; confirm at source.
How current is the data in the RNE?
Not confirmed. The RNE publishes no statement of how current its data is.

RNE is the commercial register. DGI holds tax. The MF links them. DGI’s own search was not checked for this guide.
Last verified: 2026-09-04. Sources: www.registre-entreprises.tn, which forwards to /rne-public/, whose search builds in the browser. No Tunisian dinar tariff appears there. tn.kompass.com blocked automated checks on both paths and is not listed. The FATF country page for Tunisia also loads.
