Public details and protected ownership information

Information about significant persons, such as company directors, is public through the entity search. Beneficial owner and controller information is not public. The OEBO service is restricted to permitted users within Jersey obliged entities or their representatives for their statutory customer-due-diligence work. [6] [5]

Use the final 2026 tariff

Standard copies through the online search are free. Other documents cost £51 for online certification or £144 for manual certification. A good-standing certificate costs £51 standard, £92 certified online or £159 manually certified; the certified good-standing products exclude foundations. The separate Security Interests Register charges £5 for a search. [1]

Ordering from abroad

The public search is separate from restricted account roles. myRegistry’s payment guidance allows credit or debit cards. Confirm an unusual payment method, paper destination or delivery charge with registry@jerseyfsc.org or +44 1534 822030. [3] [7]

Avoid common mistakes

  • A free online copy is not an online certified copy. Check the selected issue column before ordering. [4] [1]
