Other Registers Search

The Companies Office website contains information on a range of other entities.

An Other Registers Search locates other registered entities using either the name or number.  This search will locate the organisations that are currently registered as well as those that have been removed from the register.

There are two options available to you for conducting an search of the other Registers - Other Registers Search and Previous Name Search.  Searching is easy and all information is FREE.

  • An Other Registers Search allows you to locate a registered organisation using the name, registered number or keywords.  This search will locate the organisations that are currently registered as well as those that have been removed from the register (struck off). 
  • A Previous Name Search allows you to locate a registered organisation using a previous name (if the name was changed after 1 July 2006).
