The search facility covers Samoan companies and overseas companies registered in Samoa, and the registry provides dedicated tools for people as well as entities: the Director Search tool shows whether an individual is, or has been, a director of a company, and the Shareholder Search tool does the same for owners of a company. Help pages on the portal explain search results, company status and how to check whether a company has loans or borrowings secured by its assets. The Company Records report for Samoa provides the certificate of incorporation and registry extract sourced from the official register.
