Search step by step

Identify the entity type and select the document

Ask the ROCIP Search Room for documents
For copies and certificates, contact info@rocip.gov.lc or the Search Room on +1 758 468 3238. Provide the name, number and document required. Specify whether you need an ordinary copy, certification or a Certificate of Good Standing. [1] [3]

The menu entry for certificates and certified copies is Request certificates or certified copies. The fee page distinguishes purchased PDFs from certified searches sent by post. [2] [4]

What ROCIP displays online

The English results list contains fields for company name, registration number and status, as well as registration date, entity type and address. Name search is free and requires no account. Obtain official copies through the registry’s separate document service. [1]

Ordinary-company document fees

Regulation 27 in the official 2023 revised legislation lists XCD 5 for a search of up to three files and XCD 1 per additional file. Ordinary copies cost a further XCD 2 per page. Certification costs XCD 10. A Certificate of Good Standing costs XCD 50 for regular service or XCD 100 for expedited service. That expedited certificate fee does not specify a number of working days. [3] [7]

IBC PDF purchases and certified mailed searches

Pinnacle lists free register viewing and paid PDF documents. Its fee page charges USD 150 plus courier for a certified IBC search sent by post. It also lists certificates at USD 50 plus courier, certified copies at USD 50 and ordinary copies at USD 25. [4] [2]

Conflicting document-extract fee

Pinnacle lists USD 25 for an Extract of document. The official IBC fee schedule in the 2023 revised legislation lists USD 20. This difference is unresolved. Confirm the applicable tariff before purchasing that product. The statutory schedule also lists USD 50 for an IBC inspection. [5] [4]

Ordering documents from abroad

Pinnacle explicitly offers PDFs and a certified search sent by post. Its fee page adds courier costs but does not list international delivery destinations. [4] [5] [1]

Avoid common mistakes

Free ROCIP name searching is not a free document-copy service. Copies and certificates have a separate fee schedule. [1] [3]
IBC name checking is also used for reservation and incorporation. Researching an existing IBC requires the appropriate register function and, where needed, original documents. [2]

Frequently asked questions

Can I search online without signing in?

Yes. ROCIP’s name search worked without an account. In the separate IBC register, name checking is free, while the menu requires a customer account for other functions. [1] [2]

Are PDFs and international shipping available?

Pinnacle offers paid PDFs and certified searches by post. Contact ROCIP separately for its domestic-company documents. [4] [1]
