Company search in Jersey

Jersey publishes more about its companies than most offshore centres. The Registry of the **Jersey Financial Services Commission (JFSC)** shows each company's registered office, directors, members and share information on its public register, and copies of filed public documents bought through the online search are free. Beneficial owners and controllers are recorded with the Registry too, but that register is open only to the authorities and, since **24 February 2025**, to obliged entities carrying out customer due diligence.

Fill Easy can order Jersey Registry documents by email or through the API as part of its company registry search across 60+ jurisdictions, including the entity details, certificates of good standing and filed public documents. Price and turnaround are confirmed with the order, and every result records the source, the retrieval time and the request ID.

Registry

Jersey Registry (Companies Registry)

Jersey Financial Services Commission (JFSC)

The Registry is part of the JFSC, so the island's financial regulator and its companies registry sit in one organisation. It keeps the registers of Jersey companies, business names, foundations, partnerships, security interests and beneficial ownership under the Companies (Jersey) Law 1991 and the Financial Services (Disclosure and Provision of Information) (Jersey) Law 2020. Filings, incorporations and the annual confirmation statement go through the myRegistry portal.

The Registry search on the JFSC website takes a name, a registered number or a previous name and opens the entity's details with its available certificates and public documents. Online PDF copies are emailed on payment and manually certified copies are posted within two working days. The 2026 fee notice lists copies of documents through the online search as free, an online certificate of good standing at £51, and online certified copies at £92 for a certificate of good standing and £51 for other documents.

Identifier

Registered number

Worth knowing

  • Beneficial owners and controllers are filed with the Registry and kept off the public register. Since 24 February 2025 obliged entities, and their representatives such as AML service providers, can apply through myJFSC for access to the Obliged Entity Beneficial Owner (OEBO) register for customer due diligence only. It returns name, addresses, nationality, occupation, gender, date of birth and place of birth; every search is logged and misuse is a criminal offence.
  • Members and share information appear on the public register as last confirmed. Every company must complete an annual confirmation statement between 1 January and the end of February and notify changes to beneficial owners, controllers and significant persons within 21 days. A change made since then may not yet show.
  • Every Jersey company must have a registered office in Jersey. Where it is not at a trust company service provider, the JFSC can make the company's consent conditional on using one or on appointing a regulated director. The register of members is kept there and is open to any person under Article 45 of the Companies (Jersey) Law 1991, for a fee no higher than the published maximum (£5 to inspect).
  • A certificate of good standing confirms status and filing compliance, not solvency. The Registry issues it only for active entities that have completed their required annual returns, delivered accounts where relevant and kept a valid registered office.
  • Private companies do not file accounts, so financial statements are not on the public file for most Jersey companies. Only public and deemed public companies deliver accounts to the Registry.

Questions

Is the shareholder list of a Jersey company public?

Yes. Members and share information are shown on the JFSC Registry's public register, taken from the company's annual confirmation statement. Any person can also inspect the register of members at the company's registered office under Article 45 of the Companies (Jersey) Law 1991, for a small fee set by the company.

Can I find the directors of a Jersey company?

Yes. Directors are significant persons and appear on the public register, with exceptions for those under 18. Company secretaries are not shown. The entity details on the Registry search list them alongside the registered office and members.

Who can see the beneficial owners of a Jersey company?

Beneficial owners and controllers are filed with the JFSC Registry but are not public. The authorities can see them, and since 24 February 2025 obliged entities can search the OEBO register through myJFSC for customer due diligence. A search for any other purpose is a criminal offence.

How do I get a certificate of good standing for a Jersey company?

Order it through the JFSC Registry search. An online certificate costs £51 and an online certified copy £92 on the 2026 fee notice. It is available only for active entities that are up to date with their filings and have a valid registered office. Fill Easy can order it for you, with price and turnaround confirmed with the order.

Does a Jersey company file accounts?

Only public and deemed public companies deliver accounts to the Registry. Private companies keep accounting records but do not file them, so their financial statements are not on the public file.
