What information is available?

The free detailed view includes registration identity, status, entity type, addresses and directors. The guide also describes historical addresses, share totals and allocation to members. “Forms” contains registered filings such as company rules and annual returns. [2]

Limits of shareholder information

The authority says companies need update shareholding information with the annual return. An online record may therefore omit intervening transfers. For the current position, the guide refers to the company’s own share register. [2]

Historical files and costs

The published search guide identifies records before 1 July 2010 as paper files. Contact Company Haus about the specific historical file. The current portal tariff lists SBD 150 for certification and SBD 5 per copied page. An older 2016 payment form describes revenue-counter payment and then providing the receipt; confirm those arrangements before travelling or paying. [1] [4] [5]

Avoid common mistakes

The portal’s visible calendar is not a publication date for every paragraph. Its content page includes an old March 2011 re-registration notice, which is not treated here as a current deadline. [2]
Registered shareholding information may remain unchanged until the next annual return. [2]

Frequently asked questions

Must I travel to the Solomon Islands for every search?

No. Public online information and digital documents are available. For information before 1 July 2010, the authority’s guide requires personal file inspection. Confirm whether an agent or document order can meet the particular need. [1] [3]
