# British Virgin Islands (BVI) Company Data Now Available

> Search for BVI companies, retrieve Lite Profiles, and access filing lists through the BVI Financial Services Commission data integration with V2 API.

## Overview

We've upgraded our connection to the BVI Financial Services Commission (FSC) data, providing access to official company information through the FSC Public Search portal.

## What this means

API customers can now:

* **Search** for companies in the BVI register
* **Retrieve a Lite Profile** (onboarding profile) for BVI companies
* **Retrieve a filing list** of available documents to order

### Available data

| Capability             | Description                                                                                                                                   |
| ---------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Search**             | Locate BVI companies using either company name or registration number (supports both numeric and alphanumeric formats such as `L658`)         |
| **Onboarding Profile** | Essential company details structured for KYC workflows, including legal form, current registration status, and previous names where available |
| **Filing List**        | Receive a list of available documents that can be ordered                                                                                     |

**ISO code for API requests:** `VG`

## Search best practices

* Use the **core company name** without legal form suffixes (e.g., search "Far East Consortium" rather than "Far East Consortium (BVI) Limited").
* Note that **registry formatting may differ** from your records (e.g., "FAR EAST CONSORTIUM (B.V.I.) LIMITED" vs "Far East Consortium (BVI) Limited").
* If a full name search returns no results, try searching with just the **distinctive company name portion**.

For customers currently using our manual ordering process: exact name matches previously handled by our team will now require you to verify the company name format in the BVI register before searching.
