Use the Ontario Business Registry

Prepared by · Sources checked

Where do I find the Ontario Business Registry?

The Ontario Business Registry supports business and not-for-profit registrations, filings and updates. Its official guide separates public searches from managing an entity's records and explains the profile and account setup needed for transactions. It also links to filing requirements and help. Keep company keys private and use the transaction appropriate to your entity type.

Where to begin

  1. Choose whether you need a public search or an entity transaction.
  2. Review the official profile setup and filing requirements.
  3. Complete the relevant registry task and retain the government confirmation.

Before you open the official service

  • Your entity type
  • The filing or search you need
  • Whether the entity's registry profile is already linked

Keep your actual documents and account details off this website. Use the official service’s current checklist before applying.

What to check for your situation

This guide does not file for you or collect company keys. Filing duties and deadlines depend on the entity and transaction.

Fees, processing times and document rules can change. This page helps you navigate; it does not confirm eligibility or replace the government’s instructions.
