How to search the SSM (Companies Commission of Malaysia)
- 1
Access the SSM e-Info or MyData Portals
Public entity searches are conducted through two official service providers: SSM e-Info or MyData-SSM. Users must create an account to perform deep searches.
- 2
Perform a Name or Registration Number Search
Enter the company name or the 12-digit registration number. Basic results show the company status (e.g., Existing, Dissolved) and registration date.
- 3
Purchase Corporate Information
Detailed data such as director profiles, share capital, and financial statements must be purchased as 'Company Profile' or 'Certificate of Incorporation' PDF documents.
Who uses this data
KYC compliance officers, legal researchers performing due diligence on Southeast Asian supply chains, procurement teams verifying Malaysian manufacturers, and financial institutions assessing credit risk for Sdn Bhd entities.
Access, fees & notes
Malaysia transitioned to a 12-digit registration number format in 2019; however, the old registration numbers are still widely used and searchable. Most detailed corporate documents require a per-document transaction fee paid via credit card or prepaid credits.
Cost & access
Basic name/status search is free; detailed profile reports typically cost between MYR 10 to MYR 100 depending on the document type.

Common mistakes to avoid
✗ Relying on the free basic search for beneficial ownership identification.
✓ Specific 'Company Profile' reports must be purchased to see current shareholders and directors.
✗ Confusing the Registration Number with the Tax Identification Number (TIN).
✓ Always use the 12-digit SSM registration number for entity verification; TINs are issued by LHDN (Inland Revenue Board).
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Sdn Bhd?▾
Sdn Bhd (Sendirian Berhad) is Malaysia's private limited company, equivalent to a Pte Ltd. It requires minimum 1 director (who must be a Malaysian resident), 1 shareholder, and RM 1 minimum paid-up capital.
How do I search SSM?▾
SSM provides basic company name search for free through mydata.ssm.com.my. Detailed company information (directors, shareholders, financial statements) can be purchased for RM 10–50.
Can foreigners fully own Malaysian companies?▾
Foreign ownership rules vary by sector. Many sectors now allow 100% foreign ownership, especially in manufacturing, services, and technology. Some sectors like telecommunications and financial services have ownership restrictions.
What is Malaysia's MDEC?▾
MDEC (Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation) oversees the Malaysia Digital initiative (formerly MSC Malaysia), providing tax incentives and support for digital businesses including 10-year tax holidays for qualifying companies.
How do I search for a company in Malaysia by name?▾
Type the company name into the search box above. Results come from the SSM and show the registered name, SSM number, status and registered address. Partial names work — searching "acme" returns every registered entity whose name starts with it.
Is the Malaysia company register free to search?▾
Yes. Searching by company name or SSM number is free here and on the official Malaysia register — no account or payment is required for a basic lookup. Certified extracts and filed documents may carry a fee on the official register.
Can I search Malaysia companies by registration number?▾
Yes. Enter the SSM number instead of the name and the lookup resolves it directly to the matching record, which is the fastest way to confirm an identifier printed on an invoice or contract.
How do I check whether a company is registered in Malaysia?▾
Search the name or SSM number above. If the business is on the SSM, the record appears with its registered name and identifier. If nothing is returned, the name as spelled is not on the register — try a partial name or the number printed on the invoice or contract before concluding the business is unregistered.
How can I tell if a Malaysia company is still active?▾
Each record carries the status the SSM publishes for that entity. Registration status is a factual register field, not a judgement about the business — for ongoing certainty you can watch a record and be emailed when its registered details change.
How do I find a company's SSM number?▾
Search the company name above. Each result shows its SSM number alongside the registered name, status and address, sourced from the SSM.
