A Kenyan CR12 is a dated company search rather than a complete ownership conclusion.

Kenya’s **Business Registration Service (BRS)** provides company registration and information services through its eCitizen platform. Match the complete registered name and number before requesting an official search. A business-name record and an incorporated company represent different legal arrangements.
Request the specific records through our international company registry search. Availability and access are confirmed for the entity, requested document and requester. Price and expected turnaround are confirmed when the order is accepted.
Registry
Business Registration Service
BRS is the starting authority for Kenyan company registration services. Its eCitizen service provides the relevant application workflow. Public discovery and obtaining an official search are separate steps; check the current account, request and eligibility requirements for the selected item.
An official search or CR12 can support a review of registered company particulars, officers and member information within the issued record’s scope. It is a dated registry result, rather than a universal verification of every beneficial owner or transaction signatory.

Company registration number
Provide the complete BRS registration number and exact registered name from the incorporation evidence. Identify the legal form. A business-name number or Kenya Revenue Authority PIN is a separate identifier.
| Document | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Official company search / CR12 | Available registered company, officer and member particulars within the selected search and issued record. Confirm access, fields and effective date for the entity. |
| Incorporation and selected filed documents | Registration evidence and available filings relevant to the requested company and review period. Request particular documents rather than assuming the whole file is unrestricted. |
| Company-held member and authority records | Registers, transfer evidence or resolutions supplied through an appropriate authorised route where public or issued registry evidence does not answer the question. |
Provide the complete BRS registration number and exact registered name from the incorporation evidence. Identify the legal form. A business-name number or Kenya Revenue Authority PIN is a separate identifier.
Registered officials and direct holders have different roles. Trace relevant corporate holders and assess control separately. Obtain lawful supporting evidence where the accessible record leaves an ownership gap.
Specify the exact document, certification and receiving institution requirements. Availability and access are confirmed for the request; price and expected turnaround are confirmed when the order is accepted.
