Company registry search by country and UBO registers

For each jurisdiction this reference shows where to look up a company, what the official register shows for free, what an extract costs, how companies are identified and who can see the beneficial owners.

Each page is built from the registry’s own website and government sources, with every source linked and the date it was checked. Beneficial-ownership access changed in many countries after the EU Court of Justice ruling of November 2022, and it is still changing; the pages record the position the registry itself states today. Fees are quoted as the registry publishes them. Where an official page does not state a fee or a format, the page says so instead of estimating it.

This is a working reference for KYB checks on counterparties, suppliers and clients. It does not replace legal advice or the registry’s own certified documents. How we compile this reference.
