Search Mongolia State Registration: Verify Any Mongolian Company in 2026

TL;DR. Mongolia’s official company registry is the General Authority for State Registration (GASR), accessible at burtgel.gov.mn, with an English-language version at eng.burtgel.gov.mn. The registry holds records for over 250,000 entities. Public company search access exists but is limited in scope; compliance-grade extracts typically require engagement with a local agent. Mongolia is not on the FATF grey list as of May 2026.

What is the official Mongolia business registry?

The General Authority for State Registration (GASR), known in Mongolian as Улсын Бүртгэлийн Ерөнхий Газар (УБЕГ), is the government body responsible for registering legal entities, immovable property rights, and civil status events in Mongolia. It operates under the Ministry of Justice and Home Affairs.

The legal basis for company registration is the Law of Mongolia on Legal Entities Registration (2003, as amended). GASR registers all forms of legal entities incorporated in Mongolia, including limited liability companies (LLC, the dominant form), joint-stock companies, partnerships, non-profit entities, and branches or representative offices of foreign companies.

GASR operates a central registry supplemented by regional offices, reflecting Mongolia’s aimag (province) and soum (district) administrative structure. The registry has been progressively digitized, and OpenCorporates has indexed over 250,000 Mongolian entities from the GASR, confirming the substantial scope of the public record. The minimum authorized capital for a Mongolian LLC is MNT 1,000,000 (approximately USD 290 as of May 2026).

What can you search?

GASR provides search functionality through its portal. The following search keys are documented:

• Company name (in Mongolian Cyrillic)
• State registration number: the primary entity identifier
• Director or founder name (Mongolian Cyrillic)

Data available for a registered entity includes: company name, registration number, registration date, entity type, registered address, status (active, liquidated, suspended), and principal activity.

Ownership and director details in certified form are held within the GASR system, but the extent of publicly visible data at the free search tier appears limited. Third-party aggregators such as InfoProff report accessing Mongolian company data in structured form, suggesting some data is available through API or data-sharing arrangements with commercial partners.

Data freshness is tied to filings: registration changes and director updates are processed through GASR’s digital filing system (eBurtgel for online submissions), with the register updated on a filing-event basis.

How much does it cost?

Specific fees for a public registry search at burtgel.gov.mn are not published in English-language documentation as of May 2026. The costs above reflect agent-sourced pricing from third-party providers. Exchange rate used: 1 USD = approximately 3,450 MNT (May 2026, indicative only).

Do you need a local account or ID?

The requirement for account registration to use GASR’s public search has not been confirmed in English-language documentation. The eng.burtgel.gov.mn English portal provides general information about services but does not expose a self-serve search interface for foreign buyers without further verification. Compliance buyers needing certified extracts should engage a Mongolian corporate services firm or legal practice, as most official output from GASR is in Mongolian Cyrillic.

Is the website in English?

Partial. GASR operates an English-language information site at eng.burtgel.gov.mn, which covers the authority’s mandate, service descriptions, and contact information. The transactional search and document retrieval functions, however, are primarily in Mongolian. Company names, director names, and official documents are in Mongolian Cyrillic script, and transliteration into Latin characters is not standardized. Foreign compliance buyers should arrange translation of Mongolian-language output.

What’s the turnaround time?

The timeline for obtaining a certified registry extract through GASR is not published in English as of May 2026. Based on third-party service provider data, turnaround for agent-assisted retrieval of Mongolian company extracts is typically 1-5 business days. New company registrations through GASR’s online system are processed within approximately 10 business days.

Is there an API?

No public API for registry data is documented on burtgel.gov.mn. OpenCorporates references GASR as a data source (opencorporates.com/registers/166), and at least one commercial data aggregator (InfoProff) claims direct database access to Mongolian company records. However, no developer documentation from GASR is publicly available for third-party API access as of May 2026.

What you legally cannot do

GASR’s terms of use prohibit unauthorized bulk extraction or redistribution of registry data. Mongolia enacted a Law on Personal Data Protection in 2021, which governs how director and shareholder personal data may be processed by third parties. Compliance buyers accessing Mongolian company data must document their stated legal purpose for each lookup, consistent with AML/KYB use case requirements. Using registry data for unsolicited marketing purposes is not permitted.

Practical tips for foreign compliance buyers

• Registration number is the anchor identifier. Mongolian entity registration numbers issued by GASR are the most reliable cross-system identifier. Company names in Mongolian Cyrillic can be transliterated inconsistently into Latin, so always confirm the registration number.
• Mongolian Cyrillic script. All official documents are in Mongolian. Arrange for professional translation of director names, addresses, and entity descriptions before relying on them in compliance files.
• LLC is dominant. Over 90% of registered private businesses in Mongolia are LLCs (Хязгаарлагдмал хариуцлагатай компани, ХХК). Joint-stock companies (ХК) are listed entities or large-scale enterprises.
• Regional records. Some entities registered in outer aimags may have records held at regional GASR offices rather than the central Ulaanbaatar system. Confirm coverage if the entity is not in Ulaanbaatar.
• FATF status. Mongolia was removed from the FATF grey list after completing its action plan commitments, with exit confirmed through FATF follow-up evaluation in 2023. As of May 2026, Mongolia is not under increased monitoring. For the broader due diligence framework, see our Global Business Due Diligence Guide.
• Invest Mongolia. The Investment and Trade Agency of Mongolia (investmongolia.gov.mn) provides an English-language legal guide for investors that summarizes entity types and registration requirements.

Alternatives if you cannot access GASR directly

• Aggregator search (free, indicative only): OpenCorporates indexes Mongolian filings from GASR (opencorporates.com/registers/166) and provides basic entity data. Useful for a quick name check; not for compliance-grade verification.
• InfoProff (infoproff.com): claims to offer Mongolian company search with database coverage of over 250,000 entities; charges for structured data exports.
• Local agents: Mongolian law firms and corporate service providers in Ulaanbaatar can retrieve certified GASR extracts in 1-5 business days.

Local data suppliers

• InfoProff (infoproff.com). Data aggregator with Mongolian company records claimed to be sourced from GASR. Provides structured company search results in English for individual or batch lookups.

Use GASR for the authoritative legal filing record. Use commercial data providers when you need the data in English-structured format suitable for compliance workflows.

FAQ

Can a foreign company access the Mongolia registry directly?

Foreigners can access the English information portal at eng.burtgel.gov.mn for general information. Direct self-serve retrieval of certified extracts in English is not confirmed as available. In practice, foreign compliance buyers engage Mongolian corporate service firms to retrieve official documents.

What is the state registration number in Mongolia?

The state registration number issued by GASR is the primary identifier for Mongolian legal entities. It is assigned at incorporation and does not change across name changes or capital restructuring. Format details (digit count, prefix structure) are not published in English-language documentation; confirm the format with your local agent.

What entity types are registered with GASR?

GASR registers limited liability companies (ХХК), joint-stock companies (ХК), partnerships, non-profit organizations, cooperatives, state-owned enterprises, and foreign company branches and representative offices.

Does Mongolia have a beneficial ownership (UBO) registry?

Mongolia has taken steps toward beneficial ownership transparency consistent with FATF Recommendation 24. Mongolian company law requires disclosure of founders and major shareholders at registration. A centralized public UBO register accessible to foreign compliance buyers is not documented as operational as of May 2026. UBO information is held at GASR within company files.

How current is the data in GASR?

The GASR database is updated on a filing-event basis, meaning changes are reflected following processing of each submitted filing. New registrations and amendments are typically processed within 10 business days. The OpenCorporates index of Mongolian data notes that data freshness lags the official record.

Is Mongolia on the FATF grey list?

No. Mongolia successfully completed its FATF action plan and exited the grey list. A FATF follow-up evaluation published in 2023 confirmed Mongolia’s compliance with 9 and largely compliance with 31 of the FATF 40 Recommendations. As of May 2026, Mongolia is not on the FATF grey or black list.

What’s the difference between the GASR registry and tax filings?

Company registration is handled exclusively by GASR. Tax registration and financial reporting are administered by the General Department of Taxation of Mongolia, which issues a separate Tax Identification Number (TIN). Customs registration is handled by the Customs General Administration. A complete compliance file for a Mongolian entity may require data from all three bodies.
