Qatar has no free anonymous company search: CR details such as validity and partners, and CR offprints, are available only after logging in to the Ministry of Commerce and Industry’s Single Window. In practice, third-party checks rely on a CR offprint supplied by the company. Beneficial owners are declared under Law No. 1 of 2020 on the Unified Economic Register, and MOCI does not publish who may access them. Companies are identified by the Commercial Registration (CR) number.
