What this is
The registry fees for registration with the RCCM (Commercial and Movable Credit Register) are a judicial revenue, under the responsibility of the Ministry of Justice, through the Clerks of the Courts of First Instance. Purpose Legal existence: registration grants the company legal personality and recognized commercial capacity. Legal security: it ensures transparency of economic activities and protects third parties by providing access to company information. Economic traceability: it establishes an official database of economic operators, essential for regulation and statistics. Economic and social impact Formalization of the private sector: registration promotes the structuring of businesses and their access to financing. Protection of business partners: by making company information public, it reduces risks in transactions. Contribution to public revenue: although non-tax, this fee supports the functioning of registries and modernization of the system. Upon payment, an official receipt is issued to the applicant. This document conditions the issuance of the RCCM number, indispensable for any legal commercial activity.
