How do I search the company register in Taiwan?
Start with GCIS (https://gcis.nat.gov.tw) for Taiwan company records. Use the supported legal-name or identifier search and inspect available fields, such as Unified business number, Company name (Chinese/English). 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 Taiwan, company records sit on GCIS. 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 Unified business number, Company name (Chinese/English). 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.

Unified business number, Company name (Chinese/English). Availability of each field depends on what GCIS publishes.
