Statutory Authority · ICRIS GuideCompanies Registry ICRIS & 2026 e-Services Portal Key Principles
Statutory Authority: Cap. 622 Companies Ordinance

1. System Evolution (ICRIS to e-Services Portal): The Integrated Companies Registry Information System (ICRIS) Cyber Search Centre, launched in 2005, was officially upgraded on December 27, 2023, into the unified e-Services Portal. The upgrade unified the Cyber Search Centre, e-Registry, and Open-ended Fund Company filing portals into a single gateway.

2. Unique Business Identifier (UBI) Integration: Simultaneous with the system upgrade, the Companies Registry fully phased in the 8-digit Business Registration Number (BRN) as the Unique Business Identifier (UBI), replacing independent Company Registration (CR) numbers for newly incorporated entities.

3. New Inspection Regime Privacy Masking: Under Phase 3 of the New Inspection Regime, public searches display correspondence addresses and partially masked identification numbers for directors. Full unmasked records are strictly restricted to statutory Authorized Persons.
