How do you search Myanmar's MyCO company register?
Use Myanmar Companies Online to identify a registered company and select a profile or official document for the question you need to answer.
By Matthew Lee
Myanmar's Directorate of Investment and Company Administration (DICA) operates Myanmar Companies Online (MyCO) (opens in a new tab). DICA says a basic company search is free and accepts a company name or registration number. Match the registered number, rather than a similar trading name alone, to the entity named on the counterparty's agreement. The company-search screen (opens in a new tab) is the official starting point.
Search result or company profile?
Use the free result to identify the entity before choosing a document. MyCO separately offers official company documents and extracts. Fill Easy's Myanmar document list identifies a Company Profile with available company name, identifier, type, status, incorporation date and business-activity fields. Check the profile's actual fields and issue date; the public search screen alone does not prove every fact needed for onboarding.
A practical MyCO search sequence
- Enter the exact registered company name or registration number in MyCO. Check similar-name results and retain the matching identifier.
- Compare the identifier, company type and status with the contract or invoice. Obtain the company profile or another official document if you need a record beyond the free result.
- Save the source, identifier, document issue date and retrieval date. Ask for a later filing or company evidence if a change is claimed after the selected record.
For example, a Myanmar supplier may invoice under a brand that differs from its registered company name. Ask for its registration number, search that number in MyCO and compare it with the legal entity in the agreement. Select the company profile for the registered details needed in the file; obtain separate signing authority evidence if the profile does not establish the signer's power.
Ownership and access limits
The documented Company Profile fields do not establish a complete shareholder list. Inspect the actual record before making an ownership claim. If a holder is another company, follow that entity through its own records and ask about later transfers, nominees and control outside direct shareholding. DICA's free search and a purchased official document answer different questions; confirm any purchase conditions on the live portal.
Fill Easy lists Myanmar profiles for manual retrieval. Send the registered name, registration number and precise record question through CorpVerify or the email channel; confirm availability, price and turnaround with the order.
