About the register

Registrar of Companies

Companies in Sri Lanka are registered with the Department of the Registrar of Companies, established in 1938, which administers the Companies Act No. 7 of 2007 together with other statutes including the Societies Ordinance No. 16 of 1891. The department's eROC platform handles company name search and reservation, incorporation and related registrations online, and a public company name search, matching names that begin with or contain a given term, is available on the eROC site without a login. The department also runs a document verification service.

A company's application for registration is made on Form 1, generated through the eROC system, and every company files an annual return under section 131(1) of the Companies Act on Form 15, or Form 15A for a company limited by guarantee, covering its directors, secretaries, members and shareholding.

Beneficial ownership filing is a separate workflow. Under the Companies (Beneficial Ownership) Regulation No. 1 of 2026, published in Extraordinary Gazette No. 2480/48 of 21 March 2026 following an amendment to the Companies Act, every newly incorporated company must from 30 March 2026 submit beneficial-owner details on Form BO 1 and notify an authorised person on Form BO 5 through the dedicated portal at bo.drc.gov.lk, with existing companies filing through the same system. The registry's guidance describes company and public-authority logins, not general public access to the beneficial ownership register. The Company Records report for Sri Lanka includes the annual return and the Form 1 application for registration sourced from the official register.
