The Algerian Investment Promotion Agency (AAPI) has refuted claims that it is demanding payments from citizens and project holders under the guise of "Registration Fees." In a statement released today, Sunday, October 12, 2025, the AAPI firmly denied issuing any such document. The agency clarified that the documents in question are entirely unrelated to the AAPI and are therefore invalid and non-binding. The AAPI emphasized that all official correspondence and documents originating from the agency are exclusively disseminated through its authorized channels and bear the signatures and stamps of the relevant departments.
The AAPI’s statement serves as a crucial warning to the public, urging vigilance against potential scams and fraudulent activities. The agency is actively working to protect its reputation and the interests of investors in Algeria.
Furthermore, the AAPI asserted its full right to pursue all necessary legal measures against anyone found to be impersonating the agency or forging and issuing documents in its name. This strong stance underscores the agency’s commitment to combating fraud and maintaining the integrity of its operations. The agency is taking this matter very seriously and is dedicated to ensuring that those responsible for these deceptive practices are held accountable.
This denial comes amidst growing concerns about potential scams targeting individuals and businesses involved in investment projects in Algeria. The AAPI’s prompt response aims to dispel any confusion and reassure stakeholders that legitimate investment processes do not involve unauthorized fees or documents.
Key Takeaways:
- The AAPI has not issued any documents demanding “Registration Fees.”

Investors and citizens are advised to exercise caution and verify the authenticity of any documents claiming to be issued by the AAPI. Contact the agency directly through its official website or designated channels for clarification and verification. This proactive approach will help protect against potential scams and ensure a safe and secure investment environment in Algeria.
This incident highlights the importance of transparency and vigilance in the investment sector. The AAPI’s swift action demonstrates its commitment to protecting investors and maintaining the integrity of the Algerian investment landscape.
