The official records
There is no single national companies house in the Dominican Republic. The authoritative record is the Registro Mercantil, maintained separately by the regional Cámaras de Comercio y Producción across the country’s provinces, the Santo Domingo chamber holds the largest share. A company is only fully constituted once it is entered there and has obtained its RNC (Registro Nacional del Contribuyente), the tax identifier issued by the DGII that follows the firm across every government system.
