The Libyan company registry is a department under the country’s Ministry of Economy and unlike country registries in most Western countries, is still a very manual registry with limited digital availability and ability to conduct a detailed Libyan company registry search online.
Several efforts have been made over the years including EU supported efforts and platforms like Ejraat, but to be honest these platforms are more about facilitating trade and helping foreign entities register businesses in Libya than verifying whether a company is actually registered in Libya.
Other platforms under the Ministry of Economy exist such as the Commercial Registry System which lists relevant company names when such search terms are entered into on the platform in Arabic. However this does not provide any contextual information such as company registration number, date of registration, directors or any other such details.
Due to these challenges, to confirm company registration and details in Libya, a physical visit to the local company registry to conduct a Libyan company registry search and obtain actual evidence of the company’s registration is necessary.
