The Tunisian government's commitment to digital transformation is taking a significant leap forward with the National Register of Enterprises (RNE) moving to 100% online services by mid-2026. This initiative, spearheaded by the RNE itself, promises to streamline bureaucratic processes, cut down on waiting times, and eradicate the need for physical submissions at service counters.
This move is part of a broader strategy to fully digitize RNE's operations. To facilitate this transition, all users, whether individuals or legal entities, are strongly encouraged to register with the MobileID digital identity system for individuals or the DIGIGO platform for legal entities. This ensures that all future applications for registration, updates, or certificates will be exclusively handled through these digital channels.
The RNE is proactively urging all stakeholdersโcompanies, associations, traders, professionals, and artisansโto update their information and complete any pending procedures promptly. This is crucial to prevent any potential disruptions, delays, or rejections of their applications. The register emphasizes the importance of verifying personal accounts and finalizing required steps to safeguard transaction security and protect user rights.
Furthermore, service providers and intermediaries such as accounting firms, lawyers, tax advisors, and "publinet" service bureaus are also called upon to review the accounts through which they have served their clients. Completing necessary steps is vital to avoid any interruptions to business activities and ensure timely processing of requests. The RNE reiterates that failure to address irregularities within the stipulated deadlines will result in a rejection of the application, and importantly, these fees will not be refunded.
