Nigeria’s **Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC)** maintains registration records for companies, business names and other registered forms. Keep the identifier’s entity-type prefix, including RC or BN where present, with the complete number. A business-name match should not be treated as a company-incorporation match.
Request specific CAC records through our international company registry search. Availability and access are confirmed for the requested item and requester. Price and expected turnaround are confirmed when the order is accepted.
Registry
Corporate Affairs Commission
The CAC’s public search supports discovery of registered entities. Public search particulars and an issued extract or copy of a filed document are different evidence products. Confirm the selected service, applicable account requirements and document availability before ordering.
CAC registration and ownership services have their own scopes. Do not assume a basic search returns a complete shareholder register, current beneficial owner assessment or every document on the company file.
CAC registration number with entity-type prefix
Provide the exact registered name and complete CAC number, including the RC company prefix, BN business-name prefix or other prefix shown on the registration evidence. Tax identifiers are separate references.
| Document | What it shows |
|---|---|
| CAC public search result | Basic registration discovery information within the public service’s scope. Retain the exact entity type, identifier and retrieval date. |
| Registration certificate and selected filed records | Available company or business-registration evidence and specified filed records. Confirm whether the request concerns an ordinary copy, issued extract or certified copy. |
| Ownership and authority evidence | Available registry information or company-held registers and resolutions obtained through the appropriate access route. Public and restricted records have different requirements. |
Provide the exact registered name and complete CAC number, including the RC company prefix, BN business-name prefix or other prefix shown on the registration evidence. Tax identifiers are separate references.
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.
