What it confirms

A Bermuda Full Search Report is a compiled PDF of copies from a Bermuda company's file at the Bermuda Registrar of Companies. It contains copies of incorporation documents and copies of the documents filed to the Registry.

Full list of what the document contains
  • Copies of incorporation documents from the company's file at the Bermuda Registrar of Companies
  • Certificate of incorporation, typically recording the company name, registration date, status (for example an exempted company) and that the memorandum was filed
  • Certificate of deposit of the memorandum of association, typically with the deposit date
  • Notice of location of the registered office (often Form C7), typically with the Bermuda address
  • Where a capital increase was filed: memorandum of increase of share capital (often Form C5) and the related certificate of deposit, typically with authorised capital figures and stamp duty
  • Copies of all the available documents filed to the Registry
  • Later filings that may appear, depending on the company: certificate of registration of a mortgage or charge; memorandum of satisfaction of mortgage or charge; covering letters to the Registrar; other statutory notices
  • Deposit dates, registration numbers, registered office and authorised capital as they appear on those copies
  • The exact set depends on what that company has filed; the report does not state that the company is in good standing

How we obtain and deliver it

You identify the Bermuda company on this page and pay by card through Stripe. We request the material from the Bermuda Registrar of Companies. The electronic PDF is sent to your email and made available for download in the customer area, within 1 business day in the usual case.

Who asks for it

Banks and other regulated firms request this full report during KYC and onboarding when they must inspect Bermuda formation documents. Lawyers, notaries and accountants place it in due-diligence and closing files. Compliance officers use it when screening a Bermuda counterparty. Business owners abroad use it when a foreign bank, investor or adviser asks for Bermuda company papers.

Courts and tax authorities sometimes require a party to produce company filings. Whether this compiled PDF meets that requirement is decided by the receiving body; confirm with them before a filing deadline.

Validity, apostille and related documents

There is no fixed statutory expiry for a compiled search report. Receiving parties often want a recently obtained copy. If your institution has an internal age rule, confirm it with them.

Because the file is an electronic compilation and not an original Registry certificate, it is not the usual document for an apostille or consular legalisation. If you need an apostilled original, order the official certificate the receiving party named.

The Full Search Report is not a certificate of good standing, a certificate of incumbency or a current extract of registered particulars. Those documents address status, officers or a snapshot of data. Use this report when the task is to read the incorporation papers and the most recent filings.
