TL;DR. Belarus’s Unified State Register (EGR) is operated by the Ministry of Justice at https://egr.gov.by. That host did not complete a secure connection when last checked, and it also did not respond. No replacement address is named here. No search screen, extract fee or payment method could be reached, so fees in this guide are unknown rather than free; confirm at source. Belarusian parties appear on published US, EU, and UK sanctions lists; confirm those lists at source. This page does not prescribe a screening workflow.
What is the official Belarus business registry?
The Unified State Register of Legal Entities and Individual Entrepreneurs (Edinyi Gosudarstvennyi Registr, EGR or USR) is Belarus’s central commercial registry, operated by the Ministry of Justice of the Republic of Belarus. The stated portal is https://egr.gov.by. That host did not complete a secure connection when last checked, and it also did not respond, so no EGR search could be reached.
The legal framework governing the register is Decree of the President of the Republic of Belarus No. 1 of January 16, 2009, on State Registration and Liquidation of Business Entities. All commercial and non-commercial legal entities, and individual entrepreneurs, operating in Belarus must register with the EGR before starting business.
What can you search?
No search screen could be reached, because egr.gov.by did not complete a secure connection and did not respond.
When the host is reachable, the register’s filed contents have historically included company name, UNP, registration date and status; none of that could be confirmed here. Confirm at source.
The contents of a certified extract could not be confirmed either.
How much does it cost?
| Item | Cost (BYN) | Cost (USD, approx.) |

| Certified extract from EGR | Unknown | Unknown |
No fee could be read, because the host did not complete a secure connection and did not respond, so the table above reads unknown rather than free; confirm at source.
Do you need a local account or ID?
Optional. No search screen could be reached, so whether an anonymous lookup is possible is not confirmed here; confirm at source.
Is the website in English?
Partial. English coverage could not be confirmed, because the host did not complete a secure connection and did not respond. Partial English has been reported historically; confirm at source.
What’s the turnaround time?
Unknown. No turnaround time could be read, because the host did not complete a secure connection and did not respond; confirm at source.
Is there an API?
No public API could be confirmed.
What you legally cannot do
- Bulk automated scraping of the EGR portal is not authorized under Belarusian information law.
- Registry data may not be redistributed commercially without Ministry of Justice authorization.
- Personal data on directors and founders is subject to Belarusian data protection legislation (Law No. 99-Z of May 7, 2021).
- Accessing Belarusian government websites or transacting with state institutions may need review against applicable sanctions programs. This page does not prescribe a screening workflow.
Sanctions overlay on Belarus registry data
Belarus has been subject to escalating EU, US, and UK sanctions since August 2020, with further packages after February 2022.
US OFAC: Targeted sanctions against designated Belarusian parties under Executive Orders 13405 and 14038. Belarus is not a comprehensively sanctioned country under US law; transactions involving designated parties or their property are blocked. Confirm current designations at the OFAC source. This page does not claim that OFAC page loaded here.
EU sanctions: The EU’s restrictive measures on Belarus (Council Regulation EU 2021/1030 and subsequent packages) cover designated parties and sectoral restrictions. Confirm current measures at the EU source.
UK OFSI: Parallel Belarus sanctions under The Belarus (Sanctions) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019. Confirm current designations at the UK source.
Obtaining a company extract, when the host is reachable, is an information act, not by itself a financial transaction. Onboarding or transacting with a Belarusian entity is a separate sanctions question. EGR data alone does not confirm sanctions status. This page does not prescribe a screening workflow.
Practical tips for foreign compliance buyers
- UNP is the anchor identifier. The UNP (9 characters) is the cross-government identifier. Prefer UNP over transliterated names when the search is reachable.
- The host did not complete a secure connection, and it also did not respond. egr.gov.by is not usable as a search site right now.
- Bank access is restricted. Most Belarusian banks are under international sanctions, and no card-payment route for extracts could be confirmed.
- FATF listing status is not published on egr.gov.by. Confirm at the FATF source and with sanctions counsel. This page does not prescribe enhanced due diligence.
Alternatives if you cannot access the EGR directly
- Local legal agents: Belarusian law firms (those not designated under sanctions) can obtain certified EGR extracts when the register is reachable for them.
Local data suppliers
No Belarus-specific bureau is cited here.
Use an EGR extract for the legal filing record when obtainable. OFAC, EU, and UK sanctions lists are separate checks from the register. This page does not prescribe a screening workflow.
