Choose the right register

CAIPO means Corporate Affairs and Intellectual Property Office. It handles corporate affairs and intellectual property. For company records, specify the corporate-registry service. The Companies Act distinguishes the company register from individual filed documents. [1] [2]

What may be inspected

Section 495 entitles a person who has paid the prescribed fee to examine the relevant documents during normal business hours and make copies or extracts. The Registrar is to furnish copies or certified copies on request and payment. An express exception concerns investigation reports under section 519(2). Access therefore does not extend indiscriminately to every official file. [2]

Why direct contact is needed

Contact CAIPO to inspect records or obtain copies. Use the published contact details and specify the company and document type. [3] [1] [2]

Avoid common mistakes

  • Confirmation of registration and a copy of a particular filing answer different questions. Specify the document instead of asking only for a generic company report. [2]

Frequently asked questions

Is access restricted to citizens?

Section 495 describes access by a person on payment without specifying a citizenship condition there. Whether CAIPO can complete a particular request entirely from abroad must be confirmed separately. [2]

How do I request an electronic registry copy?

Contact CAIPO with the company name and document type. Ask for an electronic copy and state whether certification is required. [3] [1]
