TL;DR. Thailand’s statutory registrar is the Department of Business Development (DBD), Ministry of Commerce. https://www.dbd.go.th is online under the title Department of Business Development : กรมพัฒนาธุรกิจการค้า กระทรวงพาณิชย์, but the page renders only through JavaScript and carries no search form of its own. https://www.dbd.go.th/en is the same page in English. https://datawarehouse.dbd.go.th blocks automated checks. https://eservice.dbd.go.th no longer resolves. Certified-extract figures of THB 50 to 200 appear in older accounts and are not published now, so fees here read unknown rather than free; confirm at source.
What is the official Thailand business registry?
The Department of Business Development (กรมพัฒนาธุรกิจการค้า, DBD) is the statutory registrar for juristic persons in Thailand under the Ministry of Commerce. The public host is https://www.dbd.go.th. Search, document ordering, and account flows do not appear as forms on that page.
DBD administers registration under the Civil and Commercial Code and the Public Limited Companies Act B.E. 2535 (1992). The 13-digit juristic person identification number is the statutory identifier. It is not shown on a search result here.
DBD DataWarehouse at https://datawarehouse.dbd.go.th blocks automated checks, so its financial-statement search could not be confirmed.
What can you search?
No company-search form appears on dbd.go.th without JavaScript. The following describes the register rather than a form seen on 2026-09-04:
- Company name (Thai or English)
- 13-digit juristic person identification number
- Free profile vs paid หนังสือรับรอง
Director names, shareholder lists, and beneficial ownership fields do not appear on that page; confirm at source.
The path https://www.dbd.go.th/search serves the same JavaScript-rendered page rather than a results table.
How much does it cost?
| Item | Cost (THB) | Cost (USD, approx.) |
|---|---|---|
| Basic company status (online) | Unknown | Unknown |
| Certified company extract (หนังสือรับรอง) | Unknown | Unknown |
| Certified shareholder list extract | Unknown | Unknown |
| Financial statement extract (DataWarehouse) | Unknown (host blocks automated checks) | Unknown |
Figures of THB 50 and THB 100 to 200 appear in older accounts but are not published on dbd.go.th, so the table above reads unknown rather than free; confirm at source. Payment methods are not published there.
Do you need a local account or ID?
No. dbd.go.th shows neither a login form nor a search form without JavaScript, and no Thai ID field appears on the landing page; confirm at source.
Is the website in English?
Partial. https://www.dbd.go.th/en serves the same page in English with the same bilingual title, though English search labels do not appear on it. https://www.dbd.go.th/dbdweb_en/ does not exist.
What’s the turnaround time?
Unknown. Certified-extract timing is not published on the site.
Is there an API?
No public API is published on dbd.go.th. https://www.bol.co.th is Business Online Public Company Limited (BOL), a commercial vendor site rather than a DBD developer API.
What you legally cannot do
DBD’s full terms are not published on that page. Bulk scraping is not permitted. Certified extracts, when issued, are official documents; purpose-of-use rules are not published there.
Practical tips for foreign users
- JavaScript. The dbd.go.th page renders only through JavaScript, so its search fields appear in a browser rather than in the page source.
- DataWarehouse. That host blocks automated checks, so financial downloads from it are not confirmed here.
- eservice.dbd.go.th no longer resolves and is not a search address.
- 13-digit ID. Still the statutory key when you have it.
Alternatives if you cannot access the registry directly
- Commercial aggregators: BOL at https://www.bol.co.th. Packaged reports, not the official extract.
- OpenCorporates: lagging index. Name-check only.
Local data suppliers
- Business Online Public Company Limited (BOL) (bol.co.th). The D&B partner for Thailand. Commercial data, not DBD certified filings.
- Creden Asia (creden.co). A commercial KYC layer on DBD-sourced data, not a registry.
Use DBD for the official filing. Use BOL or Creden for credit scoring on top.

A 13-digit number assigned at registration, also used as the tax identification number.
What entity types are registered with DBD?
Private limited companies, public limited companies, partnerships, branch offices, and representative offices under Thai law. Entity-type filters do not appear on the page itself.

No public beneficial ownership search appears on dbd.go.th.
How current is the data in the DBD registry?
Not published on the site, and filing lag is not stated there.

What is the difference between the DBD portal and DBD DataWarehouse?
dbd.go.th is the registration host, which renders only through JavaScript. datawarehouse.dbd.go.th is the financial-statement host, and it blocks automated checks.
