How do I search for a company by name in Taiwan?
Search the legal name on GCIS, or use LemReveal's free basic lookup where supported. Treat name matches as candidates until the exact identifier and available identity details agree. Fields such as Unified business number, Company name (Chinese/English), Legal form, Registered address depend on the source; official access and fees vary.
Step-by-step
- 1
Enter the legal name
Start with the legal name on the contract. Try a distinctive part only if the source supports partial-name searches; trading names may require a separate source.
- 2
Narrow ambiguous matches
Common names return several entities. Use the registered address, incorporation date, or entity type (Company Limited by Shares, Limited Company, Unlimited Company) to identify the right one.
- 3
Open the candidate record
Compare the exact identifier and available fields. If identity is uncertain, keep the match unresolved rather than selecting the first result.
