Registraire des entreprises du Québec
Use the official register to check registration status, names in use and publicly disclosed enterprise information. Try a related word or advanced criteria if the legal-name search fails.

The RACJ permit list supports name or NEQ lookup for legal-person holders. Coverage is sector-specific: it confirms neither REQ registration nor name availability.

Business types covered
Registered enterprises of multiple legal forms, including corporations, sole proprietorships and partnerships, within Quebec’s registration rules.
Read the official guidanceChoose and check a name
A proposed name must meet Quebec’s naming rules. A name reservation is optional and lasts 90 days; finding no match in the register does not itself approve the proposed name.
Read the official guidanceIncorporate or register
File articles and the required initial declaration through the Registraire. A company already incorporated elsewhere generally follows registration, rather than a second Quebec incorporation.
Read the official guidanceUnderstand government fees
The fee page updated August 31, 2026 lists $397 CAD for a regular incorporation certificate, $27 for optional name reservation and $106 for an on-time annual update including annual registration dues. Priority rates differ.
Read the official guidanceKeep up with annual filings
Registered enterprises must follow the annual-updating process applicable to their legal form. Some corporations have annual registration dues paired with their Quebec tax filing; check the official instructions for the entity.
Read the official guidanceObtain official documents
The Registraire issues a certificat d’attestation describing registration standing and offers document copies. This is distinct from an Attestation de Revenu Québec used for certain contracts.
Read the official guidanceSeparate registration from tax accounts
An NEQ does not establish QST registration. Check the QST account with Revenu Québec and the GST/HST account with CRA.
Verify a QST numberPrepare a GST/HST check
How should you interpret a match?
Match the legal name and identifier, then check status and the date of the information. Registration does not guarantee solvency or trustworthiness. If there is no result, check spelling, previous names and the incorporating jurisdiction.
