Company Registries Worldwide 

What is a Company Registry?

A company registry is a Government department responsible for housing all registered businesses and the relevant information and documentation pertaining to these companies in their Country. The majority of countries have a central Company registry but in some countries including Germany and India there are local company registries located in individual towns and regions.

What Information is stored on The Company Register?

The Company Registers file all statutory documentation and information including certificates of incorporation, management details, shareholders where applicable, accounting details if a legal requirement and all other documentation that has to be filed in each country. Other information usually filed on the company register relates to liquidations and dissolutions of legal entities.

What Information is available for Public Inspection on the Company Registry Search? 

All registered business information filed is available on the company register search and can be accessed by the public including the documentation stated above. In many countries now private information about the directors and management of a company may not be publicly available on the company registry search due to data protection laws. In such cases a service address will be provided which normally relates to a company’s accountant or legal representative.

How to Obtain Information about Companies registered from an Overseas Company Registry Search? 

Most Company Registries have their own website and log in access for clients and customers who wish to incorporate and access company records via the Company Register Search icon. Registration is usually free and enables registered client to access the database where all records are stored. This facility may only be accessible in the local language of the country. There are countries that do have multiple language facilities and translations available. 

Is the Information Free to access company information from Overseas Company registries? 

In the majority of Company registries basic information about business registered is free but there may be charges for obtaining specific documents and information registered. Documents normally charged for will include: 
 
Shareholder details, Company Accounts, Annual Reports, Mortgage Registers and specific documents such as Certificates of Incorporation, Liquidations, Dissolutions, etc. 

In what language is the filed information available from the Company Registries? 

In the most countries the registered information is filed in the local language only. In some countries the information may also be in English as this is the universal language. It may also be possible to obtain a translation of certain documents but this will normally involve a translation fee. 

Do Company Registries Provide a service to incorporate companies? 

Many Company Registries do provide a service to incorporate companies in their countries for resident and non resident clients. The websites will disclose this service and the fees to incorporate the various types of legal entities that are registered. The Company Registry Search will identify if the chosen name is available and legally acceptable before commencing the registration. Due to some of the complexities and language issues it would be recommended that you use the services of a specialist formation agent of legal expert to assist in the formation of your chosen company. This will avoid unnecessary costs being incurred and errant formations being made which will be rejected by the local company registry office.
