Company registration information in Thailand can generally be searched through DBD registration services using the registered company name or Juristic Person Registration Number. The information available depends on the entity and record requested. Organisations requiring structured or high-volume information may use commercial KYB and registry-data services. If you require more than a registry search, see our Thailand Company Registry Search Guide and company verification guide. Ready to check a business?

Company-registration records may include registration details, company status, registered address and information relating to directors or authorised representatives, depending on the entity and records available. AsiaVerify’s Thailand coverage includes supported company-registration, director and shareholder information, official legal documents, entity matching and AML screening capabilities.

Registry information may be used to confirm whether an entity remains registered and whether material registration changes have been recorded. The exact information available and its currency depend on the entity, record and processing of relevant filings. Organisations requiring ongoing oversight may also use AsiaVerify’s Perpetual KYB capabilities to monitor supported entities and identify relevant company changes over time.

Information relating to directors, authorised directors and key company representatives may be available through company-registration records and supporting filings. The availability and completeness of information depends on the entity and records available.

Thailand does not provide a comprehensive public beneficial ownership register through standard company-search workflows. Shareholder information may be available depending on the company type and records available. Ultimate beneficial ownership analysis may require combining registry information with ownership analysis and additional supporting sources. For more on ownership checks, see our guide: Why Identifying the UBO Matters.

Company-registration information is available through official registration systems maintained by DBD. The level of information available depends on the entity, information requested and applicable access requirements.

Access requirements and any applicable fees depend on the records or documents requested.

A company registry search provides access to corporate records held by the Department of Business Development, such as registration details, status, and certain filing information. Company verification uses registry information alongside additional ownership, identity, and risk checks to support KYB and due diligence processes. For further guidance on Thai company searches and verification, see our Thailand Company Registry Search Guide.

Foreign branches or other foreign-business presences may be recorded where registered under the applicable Thai framework.

Registry data from the Department of Business Development provides a government-sourced foundation for KYB and corporate due diligence on Thai entities. It can support confirmation of legal existence, registration details, status and available information about company representatives. Organisations commonly combine registry information and official documents with entity matching, AML screening and broader due-diligence processes when assessing Thai businesses. Registry information is commonly combined with ownership analysis, AML screening, due diligence and ongoing monitoring to support onboarding and third-party risk management.

The Juristic Person Registration Number is the primary identifier assigned to registered legal entities in Thailand. It is a 13-digit numeric code commonly used when searching for or verifying a company through official registration systems. Example: 0105566017672.

For most company-verification and company-search requirements, the Department of Business Development should be treated as the primary source of registration information. Searches by company name or Juristic Person Registration Number are typically the most effective starting point.

Registry records may not provide a complete view of ownership, control structures or broader risk indicators. Depending on the entity and records available, additional ownership analysis, official documents, AML screening and supplementary due-diligence sources may be required to support enhanced verification and risk assessment. Because registry records may not provide a complete picture of ownership and risk, organisations often supplement a registry search with a full business check; see our Thailand Company Registry Search Guide.
