How to search the DBD (Department of Business Development)
- 1
Access DBD Data Warehouse
Visit the DBD e-Service or Data Warehouse portal. You must register for a free account to view detailed information beyond basic company status.
- 2
Search by Identification Number
Input the 13-digit registration number for the most accurate results. This number serves as the primary unique identifier for all legal entities in Thailand.
- 3
Filter by Name or Category
If the ID is unknown, search using the Thai legal name. Note that searching in English may return fewer or less accurate results as the Thai name is the official legal record.
Who uses this data
Supply chain managers vetting Thai manufacturers, legal counsel investigating Foreign Business Act compliance, and credit risk analysts reviewing the financial statements of potential Southeast Asian partners.
Access, fees & notes
While basic entity data is accessible for free through the DBD Data Warehouse, obtaining certified documents or official paper copies requires a service fee. Foreign users should note that detailed shareholder lists (BOJ.5) are often the most critical document for determining true ownership under the Foreign Business Act.
Cost & access
Online lookup via Data Warehouse is free with registration; certified electronic documents and certificates require fees per item.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Thai Company Limited?▾
A Thai Company Limited (บริษัท จำกัด) requires minimum 3 shareholders (2 for the new streamlined process) and a minimum registered capital based on business type. It's equivalent to a private limited company.
Can foreigners own Thai companies?▾
Under the Foreign Business Act, foreigners generally cannot hold more than 49% of shares in a Thai company for restricted businesses. Exceptions exist for BOI-promoted companies and businesses operating under Free Trade Agreements.
How do I search Thai companies?▾
DBD DataWarehouse (datawarehouse.dbd.go.th) provides free company search in Thai and English. You can search by company name, registration number, or director name.
What is a BOI promotion?▾
The Board of Investment (BOI) offers tax incentives and benefits (including permission for majority foreign ownership) for companies in promoted industries like technology, advanced manufacturing, and digital services.
How do I search for a company in Thailand by name?▾
Type the company name into the search box above. Results come from the DBD Thailand and show the registered name, DBD number, status and registered address. Partial names work — searching "acme" returns every registered entity whose name starts with it.
Is the Thailand company register free to search?▾
Yes. Searching by company name or DBD number is free here and on the official Thailand 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 Thailand companies by registration number?▾
Yes. Enter the DBD 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 Thailand?▾
Search the name or DBD number above. If the business is on the DBD Thailand, 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 Thailand company is still active?▾
Each record carries the status the DBD Thailand 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 DBD number?▾
Search the company name above. Each result shows its DBD number alongside the registered name, status and address, sourced from the DBD Thailand.
