How to Search the Registry
The registry can be searched directly by name, company name, or unique ID number, without requiring an account, login, or payment to look up an entry.
Search access is deliberately kept simple, since the entire purpose of the registry depends on strangers being able to check it easily.
The Three Ways to Search
Most searches use a full name, but a company name or the unique ID number printed on a certificate or International Entrepreneur ID will also return the correct entry directly.
What to Do If a Search Returns No Result
No result typically means the person or business has not completed verification, rather than an error in the system. It is worth double checking spelling or trying the unique ID number if one was provided.
