    How do I check if a company is registered in Thailand?

    To check if a company is registered in Thailand, search its name or registration number on DBD (Department of Business Development) (https://www.dbd.go.th). An "active" status plus a matching legal name confirms the entity is currently registered. All basic verification is free.

    Step-by-step

    1. 1

      Open the official DBD (Department of Business Development)

      Go to https://www.dbd.go.th. This is the primary government-operated source.

    2. 2

      Search by name or number

      Enter the trading name or the registration number. DBD (Department of Business Development) returns exact and near matches.

    3. 3

      Check status and legal name

      A registered company shows an "active"/"registered" status and a legal name that matches the entity you're checking.

    4. 4

      Cross-check the registered address

      Compare the registered office address on DBD (Department of Business Development) with the address the company advertises. Mismatches are the fastest signal something is off.

    5. 5

      Download the official extract (optional)

      Most registers let you download a formal extract or certificate. Use this for KYC, procurement, or contract files.

    Frequently asked questions

    How do I check if a company is registered in Thailand?

    Search the company's name or registration number on DBD (Department of Business Development) at https://www.dbd.go.th. A matching entry with an "active" or equivalent status confirms the company is currently registered. The check is free and needs no account.

    How can I check if a Thailand company is still active?

    Read the status field on the company's DBD (Department of Business Development) record. "Active"/"registered" means it is currently on the register; "dissolved", "struck off" or "liquidation" means it is not. Also check the most recent filing date — a nominally active entity years behind on filings is a warning sign.

    Is a Thailand company with a website automatically registered?

    No. A website, email domain or invoice letterhead proves nothing. The only authoritative proof is a current entry in DBD (Department of Business Development) with a matching legal name and registration number.

    What proves a Thailand company is legally registered?

    An entry in DBD (Department of Business Development) with an "active" or equivalent status is the definitive proof. The registration number returned by DBD (Department of Business Development) is the authoritative identifier.

    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.
