Enter the company's incorporation number OR registration number OR business number

 

Incorporation Number

This number is assigned at the time of incorporation and is located at the top right hand corner of the Certificate of Incorporation, Amalgamation, Continuation or Change of Name previously sent out to the company.   It is also printed on the annual report reminder that is sent to the company each year.  These documents are stored at the company's records office.

Registration Number

This number can be found on the Certificate of Registration that was issued to the company by the Corporate Registry when the company was registered in BC. This document is stored at the company's head office.

Business Number

Your Business Number would be displayed as a 15 character identifier, for example: 82123 5679 RC 0001 on any document received from the Canada Revenue Agency.  The first nine numbers uniquely identify your business - it's those numbers we need.   

info   If you have a BC OnLine account, you can find the incorporation number and business number by searching the list of corporate names on the register.

Good Standing

A certificate of good standing can be requested by clients with a BC OnLine account for any BC or extraprovincial company that is in good standing.  A company is NOT "in good standing" if any of the following apply:

For those clients who do not have a BC OnLine account, the certificate may be ordered by mail from the Corporate Registry.  For those BC OnLine clients who prefer to receive a paper certificate rather than a PDF file, the certificate may be ordered by fax from the Corporate Registry.  To order by mail or fax please download the Certificate of Good Standing Order Form.
