Search step by step
From free search to a document request
Search by name or number
Open the directory and enter the known registration number or company name. The status filter distinguishes active and inactive entries. Match the result to your starting documents. [2] [4]
Read the profile and data warning
The company profile includes fields for the registration number, legal form, incorporation date and status. Further fields cover the address, activities and Company Secretary. The portal’s “Alpha Stage” notice means the service is at an early stage. Information may be incomplete or out of date. [4] [1]
Identify the record and period
Specify an annual return, annual accounts or another filed document as required. The profile separates annual returns from annual accounts. [4] [8] [1]
Open the request route
“Submit Search Request” requires sign-in. If you do not have an account, use the published contact details to ask the registry about ordering. The free company profile is available without login. [4] [7]
Agree fees and delivery
The authority lists company-file research at £42.95 per hour, charged proportionately. A company-document request is £10.80 per company; a certified copy is £32.40. Confirm the applicable combination and additional costs for your request, together with file format or paper delivery. [5]
Documents and fees
| Document / information | Contents and purpose | Fee | How to get it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Public company profile [1] [4] | Basic company and register particulars, with sections for officers and annual filings. | Free public view. | Search by company name or registration number and open the result. |
| Requested company document [5] [4] [8] | For example, an annual return or accounts for a specified period; confirm availability with the office. | Document request £10.80 per company; file research may cost £42.95 per hour, proportionately. | Sign in for the profile’s document request or ask the registry about ordering. |
| Certified copy of a company-file document [5] [7] | Certified copy of a document held by the registry. | £32.40 on the fee page; agree any additional applicable services first. | Identify the document and required certification expressly. |
Supplementary director search
The Directors Directory supports a person-name search and filters for company and position. It displays the person and company, role, nationality and appointment date. These are the records entered in the portal; its general data-completeness warning applies here as well. [3] [1]
Annual returns and accounts answer different questions
An annual return describes the company and its register particulars. The authority includes issued capital and past and present shareholders among its contents. Annual accounts concern financial position and results. Request the appropriate record for the relevant period. [8]
Research and payment from abroad
Public search and profile access worked without a local account. The authority expressly publishes a bank-payment route for overseas payers and specifies “Registry 0452-0134” for company fees. Obtain bank details from the current official payment page. [4] [6]
Contact for certified copies and delivery
Registry Services can be reached on +500 27271. The address is Registrar General, Town Hall, Ross Road, Stanley, Falkland Islands, FIQQ 1ZZ. Provide company name, registration number and the required document. Ask expressly about certification, language and electronic or postal delivery. [7] [5]
Avoid common mistakes
- “Alpha Stage” identifies the portal’s early development stage. An absent result or empty document section proves neither missing registration nor failure to file. [1] [4]
- The authority describes overseas payments. This does not promise that every type of original paper document will be posted internationally. [6]
Frequently asked questions
Can I research without an account?
