Find and use identifiers

Federal Corporation Search:

The two identifiers available to the user are the Corporate Number and the Business Number. The identifiers will be next to these names, respectively.

Business Search Registry

Users can find identifiers by using this incomplete database. To find identifiers, click on the hyperlinked name or the 'More' drop-down menu to the right of the name.

Users should note that results that have been pulled from Ontario's registry will not successfully link to corporate information, but will take the user to the homepage for the public record search. But clicking 'More' will reveal the identifer'

When using the Business Search Registry, identifiers from different state registration authorities are provided. This means they use different formats.
