Companies Registry - Electronic Services

The e-Registry is a 24-hour portal developed by the Companies Registry to facilitate electronic submission of applications for company incorporation, specified forms and other documents. To provide our customers with a convenient and integrated service, e-Registry also serves as a one-stop platform for company incorporation and business registration whereby any online application for company incorporation will be deemed to be an application for business registration simultaneously.

Electronic services for one-stop company incorporation and business registration, and submission of notifications of changes of company names for local companies are available since early 2011.

	Registration of Registered Agents - Company and Individual Users of the e-Registry may register their agents for the purpose of electronic filing at the e-Registry free of charge. A Registered Agent, who is essentially an authorised person, can be a company or an individual. Before a Registered Agent can act on behalf of his/her principal for the purpose of electronic filing, the agent must be authorised and registered by the principal as his/her agent at the e-Registry.

You can also subscribe to our e-Monitor service at the e-Registry to help you keep an eye on updating of company information on the public register. As soon as a document is registered in the public records of a company selected by a subscriber, an email notification will be sent instantly to the subscriber. The subscriber can then decide if he/she wishes to order the document image record at the Cyber Search Centre. Company Users of e-Registry can subscribe to e-Monitor (Self-Monitor) service. e-Monitor (Other Companies) service can be subscribed by Individual or Company Users. A subscription fee of $35 is charged per company per year.
