TL;DR. Saint Lucia’s Companies Registry is published at https://www.companiesregistry.gov.lc, and that domain no longer resolves; the apex https://companiesregistry.gov.lc does not resolve either. No name-search or certified-extract fee is published anywhere, so costs read as unknown rather than free. This guide does not name a replacement address; confirm at source.
What is the official Saint Lucia business registry?
The Registry of Companies and Intellectual Property (Companies Registry) operates under the Ministry of Commerce. Company registration is under the Companies Act (Cap. 13.01). The published online portal is https://www.companiesregistry.gov.lc, and that hostname no longer resolves. This guide does not name a replacement .gov.lc address.
Saint Lucia is an OECS / ECCU member. XCD is the currency and English is the official language. None of that tells you what a search costs.
What can you search?
Nothing online. The registry’s published domain no longer resolves, so neither a search form nor its name-search fields can be confirmed; confirm at source.
How much does it cost?
| Item | Cost (XCD) | Cost (USD, approx.) |
|---|---|---|
| Name search | Unknown | Unknown |
| Certified extract | Unknown | Unknown |

- No registry page publishes FATF status. Check fatf-gafi.org.
- FIA (fia.gov.lc) is Saint Lucia’s financial intelligence unit, not the companies registry and not a substitute search.
Alternatives if you cannot access the registry directly
- Aggregator search (indicative only): OpenCorporates coverage is limited.
- Local attorneys in Castries for certified extracts.
Local data suppliers
No Saint Lucia credit bureau is named on any reachable registry page. Local counsel remains the path.
