Qatar Company & Beneficial Ownership Directory
Qatar's company register runs through the Ministry of Commerce and Industry's (MoCI) Unified Economic Register, established under Law No. 1 of 2020 to hold both commercial registration and beneficial ownership data in one system. Under Article 7, MoCI shares it only with law enforcement, judicial bodies, auditors, financial institutions, and other AML-obliged entities, at a 20% ownership-or-control threshold. Basic identification details — name, legal structure, and purpose — are published for every economic establishment, legal arrangement, and freelance professional under the law, but that public tier stops well short of ownership data. MoCI verifies the declared beneficial owner directly at registration and renewal, since no registration or amendment has been processed without a beneficial-ownership disclosure since April 2021; resolving the ownership chain above a Qatari entity, however, still requires sources outside the register.
