Bermuda’s online Registrar of Companies requires a paid user account; there is no free search. Inspecting a document, register or index costs $13, and a certificate of compliance search (Bermuda’s good-standing equivalent) costs $100. The central beneficial ownership register moved to the Registrar on 3 November 2025 and is available to authorities only. Companies are identified by a registration number.
