Domestic Trade Registry

The Domestic Trade Registry (Arabic: سجلّ التجارة المحلية sijill at-tijārah al-maḥallīyah) is a directorate of the Ministry of Trade of the Arab Union, responsible for authenticating and securely storing the articles of incorporation of federally registered businesses, which act as both a corporation's constitution and its certificate of legal incorporation. Entities not incorporated at the federal level instead register with the Commercial Development Authority of the respective federal jurisdiction(s) wherein they were incorporated.
