Foreign Company Registration Service

Foreign commercial companies that are duly incorporated must register with the Commercial Registry and the National Taxpayer Registry (RNC) to operate in the Dominican Republic. This is essential to understand “how to know if a foreign company is legal.”

All companies wishing to establish themselves in the national territory will be governed by the law of their place of incorporation and must comply with the provisions of Law No. 470-08 – General Law of Companies and Limited Liability Sole Proprietorships in the Dominican Republic.

Original document from the company authorizing operations in the Dominican Republic.
Copy of the photo ID of the partners, administrators, and representatives of the requesting company.
