About the register

SIJILAT

Known locally as سجلات.

Bahrain's commercial register is governed by Legislative Decree No. 27 of 2015 Concerning the Commercial Register. Every trader practicing a commercial activity must be registered, from companies under the Commercial Companies Law to branches of foreign companies and commercial sole proprietorships, the latter reserved to Bahraini nationals aged 18 or over. The register is prepared at the concerned directorate of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, and a registration application records the applicant's name, trade name, legal form, type of activity, share capital, business address and authorized signatories.

Registration runs through Sijilat, the ministry's online commercial registration system, which handles registrations, renewals, amendments and ownership transfers and offers a public search by keyword, activity and governorate. Under Article 17 of the decree, any concerned party may request a copy of the information of a registration, and Article 25 directs the ministry to publish the register information determined by the Implementing Regulation on its website. A certified extract of commercial registration data is issued under Ministerial Resolution No. 126 of 2016.

Under Ministerial Order No. 83 of 2020, all commercial registration holders except those licensed by the Central Bank of Bahrain must disclose their ultimate beneficial owners through Sijilat. The beneficial owner must be a natural person, the criteria include a direct or indirect 10 percent share of capital or voting rights, and the details must be confirmed or updated every year. The Company Records report for Bahrain includes the registry extract sourced from the official register.
