Frequently Asked Questions

The BC Registry Search offers free and instant access to British Columbia company registry records that include business name records, registration numbers, and status (Active or Historical). It allows users to easily and rapidly verify any BC-registered company for effective business decision-making.

In British Columbia, lawyers, accountants, entrepreneurs, investors, and corporate professionals often utilize it for due diligence, whether they are entering into a partnership agreement, exploring a business opportunity, or seeking finance. Any individual doing business with a BC company also benefits from using it for verification.

No eligibility requirements exist. The service is publicly available to anyone in Canada or internationally with an internet connection—no account, registration, or approval is needed.

No documents are required. Simply enter the business name or registration number into the search field to retrieve instant official records from the British Columbia company registry.

The answer is yes—it is consistent with the due diligence and legal requirements under the BC Business Corporations Act, as well as other federal laws such as anti-money laundering laws and know your customer (KYC) laws. Professionals use it to demonstrate a thorough verification prior to any transactions.

By not doing your due diligence, you run the risk of working with dead or fake players – companies that are not active, or have gone into liquidation or are outright fraudulent. This could mean that you cannot enforce a contract, a financial hit, or a fine from a regulator. It also means that your business is exposed to any lurking liabilities that previous directors or owners may have.

The search is a one-time verification tool, which does not have any recurring use. However, due to the fact that the information within the register can fluctuate over time, periodic searches are recommended for the maintenance of relationships or for compliance monitoring within British Columbia.
