Starting from 1 November 2021, the Companies Registry adopts the 8-digit BRN of an LPF issued by the Business Registration Office of the Inland Revenue Department as the unique identifier of an LPF.
For those LPFs registered before 1 November 2021, the BRN of the LPF, instead of the number printed on the Certificate of Registration of the LPF having the format “LFxxxxxxx”, will be displayed on the search results of an LPF.
With effect from 1 November 2021, a new initiative of Unique Business Identifier (“UBI”) is implemented for LPFs. The 8-digit Business Registration Number (“BRN”) is adopted as the UBI of an LPF for use across government departments and businesses. The format of the identification number of an LPF is therefore changed from “LFxxxxxxx” to a 8-digit BRN.
In many other economies over the world, the concept of UBI has been adopted, enabling governments and businesses to uniquely identify legal entities in various transactions and regulatory interactions with a view to helping the governments to enhance public service delivery and regulate entities more effectively, while at the same time reducing administrative and compliance burdens of entities. With the concerted effort of the Inland Revenue Department (“IRD”), the 8-digit BRN issued by the Business Registration Office of the IRD will be adopted as the UBI of the entities. The Companies Registry introduces UBI for LPFs in the first phase while other types of entities under the administration of the Registrar of Companies are covered in the second phase implementation in late 2023.
As an alternative evidence of the change to use new identification number of every LPF registered before 1 November 2021, application can be made for a Letter of Confirmation to be issued by the Registry starting from 27 December 2023 via the e-Search Services at the Registry’s e-Services Portal (www.e-services.cr.gov.hk). The application fee required is HK$130.
For LPFs registered before 1 November 2021, please state the new identification number as shown in this reference table.
A complete set of the specified forms in CD-ROM and hard copies of individual forms are also available for purchase at the Registry’s office on 14th floor, Queensway Government Offices, 66 Queensway, Hong Kong.
