What the federal search can and cannot show
Corporations Canada’s database confirms corporations created under federal corporate law and publishes public corporate information. It does not include provincial or territorial corporations, financial institutions, or foreign corporations. A recent filing may take several hours to appear.
After validation, use the official search to see the live record. This page does not copy registry data into a stale local database and does not ask for a corporation key.
Official source and update path
Verified 29 September 2026. Corporations Canada does not expose a stable unauthenticated public lookup API for this form.
- Corporations Canada — Search for a Federal Corporation
- Corporations Canada — public disclosure of corporate information
Update path: re-check the official form field names and limits if Corporations Canada redesigns the search; the local module intentionally keeps the official handoff isolated in js/federal-corporation-lookup.js.
Federal registry only
Use Canada’s Business Registries or the applicable provincial registry for a corporation created under provincial or territorial law.
