PEI business and corporate registry search.
A guide to the official PEI Business / Corporate Registry: what it covers, what to enter, and a checklist for confirming a business is registered in Prince Edward Island.
Short answer: The province says you may need to search two corporate registries until the transition to the new online registry is complete. Search the official name, and try both.

Search the official register
The PEI Registry is the authority on whether a business is registered in Prince Edward Island. This page does not copy or proxy registry data and cannot verify anyone.
What the official sources say
- The province says you may need to search two corporate registries until the full transition to the new online registry system; if a name is not in the new system, it directs you to the Original registry.
- Search by the official business name: if the business operates under another name you will not find it.
- Use double quotes around a phrase to search for the whole phrase, and use more than three characters in a search term.
- Records in the Original registry show details such as registration number, business type, registration date and status. Contact Corporate Services at (902) 368-4550 or askcorporateregistry@apps.gov.pe.ca if you cannot find a business.
Name notes
Always search the registered legal name; a trade or operating name will not match. Use more than three characters in a search term.
Is this company registered in Prince Edward Island? A checklist
- Search Prince Edward Island’s official register (link above), not a third-party directory.
- Use the exact legal name from the contract, invoice or certificate. Then try shorter fragments.
- Confirm the legal name, entity type and status shown on the record match what you were given.
- Note whether the record is active or inactive, and the registered address.
- If you need formal proof, order the register’s certificate or summary rather than relying on a screenshot.
- Remember a CRA Business Number is a federal identifier. It does not by itself show registration in Prince Edward Island.
