Malaysia company register search
Source-cited registry guidance — access and document fees vary by source.
Search SSM (Companies Commission of Malaysia) at the official source
Start with SSM (Companies Commission of Malaysia) for Malaysia. LemReveal has not established an available native register search for this page; indexed or secondary records are not complete register coverage.
Official access and fees vary. A human request is an enquiry, not a guaranteed extract or completed purchase.
How do I search the company register in Malaysia?
Start with SSM (Companies Commission of Malaysia) (https://www.ssm.com.my) for Malaysia company records. Use the supported legal-name or identifier search and inspect available fields, such as Company number, Company name, Type, Status. Official searches, documents and APIs have separate access rules; LemReveal's free lookup does not remove those conditions.
Step-by-step
- 1
Know which register holds the record
In Malaysia, company records sit on SSM (Companies Commission of Malaysia). Trade directories and aggregator sites are copies — the register is the source of truth.

Search by name or registration number
Use the exact identifier with its issuing register or jurisdiction. Name searches can return several candidates; a number is not a guarantee that the source is available or covers the record.
- 3
Read the register entry, not the marketing page
The register entry shows Company number, Company name, Type, Status. That is what a bank, auditor or counterparty will check.
- 4
Keep a dated copy
Register entries change. Save the record with the date you retrieved it, or set up monitoring so you are told when the entry changes.
