Registering a SARL at a domiciliation address in Algeria

Yes, a SARL (limited liability company) can set its registered office at a domiciliation address, provided it holds a contract signed before a notary in the company's name: that is the proof of office the CNRC (National Trade Register Centre) asks for at registration. Domiciliation suits SARLs in services, construction or export. A SARL that sells to the public or stores goods needs premises. At Neuron Cowork in Dely Brahim it costs 6,000 DA a month, with the notarised contract ready within 3 days.

Why a SARL needs a registered office

A SARL only exists in law once it is entered in the trade register. To register it you need articles of association, and the articles must state the address of the registered office. No address means incomplete articles, and no registration.

In the registration file for a legal entity, the CNRC asks for a title deed to the premises or a notarised lease, drawn up in the company's name. A domiciliation contract signed before a notary is one of the accepted proofs of registered office.

What domiciliation allows, and what it does not

It allows you toIt does not allow you to
State the address as registered office in the articlesSell to the public on site
Register the SARL in the trade registerStore goods
Receive the company's mail at that addressSet up a workshop or production
Put a business address on invoices and the company stampReplace premises required for a regulated activity

A domiciliation address comes without a desk. If the partners need a desk, Neuron Cowork also rents private offices (15,000 DA a month unfurnished, 20,000 DA furnished) and a meeting room at 5,000 DA a day.

Can your activity be domiciled?

It depends on the activity code entered in the trade register. This table shows the general trend for each broad family.

Domiciling your SARL step by step

  1. 1

    Check that the activity can be domiciled

    Look at your activity code. Services, construction and export usually qualify. Retail, workshops and storage need premises.

  2. 2

    Reserve the company name with the CNRC

    The name certificate fixes the company's name. The domiciliation contract will be drawn up in that name.

  3. 3

    Sign the domiciliation contract before a notary

    At Neuron, the manager sends their ID and birth certificate on WhatsApp. The notarised contract is ready within 3 days.

  4. 4

    Have the articles drafted with the office address

    The notary writes the domiciliation address into the SARL's articles, signed by all partners.

  5. 5

    File with the CNRC

    With the contract, the articles and the other documents, the SARL is registered. Next come the NIF (tax ID), the NIS (statistical ID) and the manager's CASNOS (self-employed social security) registration.

How much does domiciliation cost for a SARL

What if the SARL already exists?

Changing address means transferring the registered office. Since the address is in the articles, you need a partners' decision amending the articles, a notarial deed, then an amendment of the trade register entry. The new domiciliation contract is the proof of the new office. The amendment must be started within one month at most of the change (article 4 bis of Law 04-08, inserted by Law 26-12 of 8 June 2026).

Frequently asked questions

Can a SARL have its registered office at the manager's home?

Yes, temporarily. A first-time investor company with no office may elect domicile at its legal representative's residence for two years at most, renewable once (article 21 of Law 04-08). When activity starts, the domicile becomes the place where it is carried out.

Does the CNRC accept a domiciliation contract?

Yes. The CNRC asks for a title deed or a notarised contract in the company's name. A domiciliation contract signed before a notary is one of the accepted proofs of registered office.

Who signs a SARL's domiciliation contract?

The manager, on behalf of the company. That is why Neuron asks for the manager's ID and birth certificate, and nothing else.

Should I domicile before or after drafting the articles?

Before. The articles must state the registered office address. First reserve the company name, then sign the domiciliation contract, then the notary drafts the articles with that address.

Can I meet clients at the domiciliation address?

For appointments, yes: Neuron's meeting room costs 5,000 DA a day. A domiciliation address cannot, however, be used to sell to the public or to store goods.

What happens when the contract ends?

You renew it or move the registered office elsewhere. The address is in your articles and in the trade register: a SARL cannot be left without a valid office.

Can an importing SARL be domiciled?

Case by case. If the activity involves storage, or if customs ask for a storage site, premises are still needed. Send your activity code to Neuron for an answer before signing.
