Fiji ROC e-Services: ROC Pass Login Wall

TL;DR. Fiji’s Registrar of Companies (ROC) runs its e-services at https://roc.digital.gov.fj, which forwards to sign-in at https://corpauth.digital.gov.fj/, titled ROC Pass and operated by the Ministry of Communications. There is no anonymous search form on that route: an account is required. Fees, turnaround and payment methods are not published there, so they are unknown rather than free; confirm at source.

What is the official Fiji business registry?

The Office of the Registrar of Companies operates within Fiji’s Ministry of Justice and is responsible for company registration and regulation under the Companies Act 2015. The primary public-facing host is the ROC e-Services platform at https://roc.digital.gov.fj. It forwards to https://corpauth.digital.gov.fj/connect/authorize and the sign-in home at https://corpauth.digital.gov.fj/, titled ROC Pass. That route offers no anonymous company search.

The Companies Act 2015 replaced the earlier Companies Act 1983 and introduced mandatory digital registration. Since 2021, Fiji has moved to fully digital company registration and filing, with physical submissions phased out. All registrations, annual returns, and director changes are processed through the e-services platform.

The registry covers domestic companies (private and public limited by shares, companies limited by guarantee), foreign companies registered to operate in Fiji, and business names registered by individuals and sole traders. The Ministry of Industry, Trade and Tourism handles business licensing separately; the ROC focus is on the legal entity record.

Registry data goes back to re-registration under the 2015 Act. Some older entities may have limited historical filing data available digitally.

What can you search?

The search screens sit behind the ROC Pass sign-in, so the entity name, incorporation number, business name, type and status filters could not be confirmed here, and neither could free name availability without an account nor a bulk Buy Information option; confirm at source.

Data freshness depends on when filers lodge updates with the ROC, and that record sits behind the ROC Pass sign-in; confirm at source.

How much does it cost?

No fee figures are published on the ROC Pass sign-in page, so the table above reads unknown rather than free. Turnaround and payment methods are not published there either; confirm at source.

Do you need a local account or ID?

Yes. https://roc.digital.gov.fj forwards to corpauth.digital.gov.fj, titled ROC Pass, so an account is needed and name availability searches are not open on this route. What the account-creation form asks for past Welcome to the ROC Pass, and which payment cards are accepted, could not be confirmed; confirm at source.

Is the website in English?

Yes. The ROC Pass page is in English (ROC Pass; Welcome to the ROC Pass). The search screens behind that sign-in could not be read, so their language coverage is not confirmed.

What’s the turnaround time?

Unknown. No turnaround is published, and no download path is offered ahead of the ROC Pass sign-in; confirm at source.

Is there an API?

No. The Fiji ROC does not currently offer a public API for programmatic access to registry data. Compliance platforms needing automated or bulk lookups should use the portal’s account-based interface. Screen-scraping the ROC portal is not recommended and likely violates the platform’s terms of use.

What you legally cannot do

The ROC’s terms of use prohibit unauthorized bulk reproduction or redistribution of registry data. Commercial resale of downloaded entity information without ROC authorization is not permitted. Fiji’s data protection framework, the Online Safety Act 2018, and related legislation govern the use of personal data obtained from registry records. Using officer or director information obtained from the ROC for unsolicited marketing or data brokering is not a permitted purpose.

Compliance buyers conducting KYC, AML, or counterparty due diligence fall within legitimate use. Document the stated purpose of each search as part of your internal audit trail.

Practical tips for foreign compliance buyers

• EU list of non-cooperative jurisdictions. The Council press release of 17 February 2026 at https://www.consilium.europa.eu/en/press/press-releases/2026/02/17/taxation-council-updates-the-eu-list-of-non-cooperative-jurisdictions-for-tax-purposes/ blocked automated checks, so Fiji’s standing on that list is not restated here; confirm at source.
• FATF status. The FATF page at https://www.fatf-gafi.org/en/countries/black-and-grey-lists.html carries the Jurisdictions under Increased Monitoring statement of 19 June 2026, and Fiji is not named on it; confirm at source. The Asia Pacific Group on Money Laundering (APG) conducts mutual evaluations of Fiji as an APG member jurisdiction, and publishes its findings at apgml.org.
• Companies Act 2015 transition. Some entities incorporated under the 1983 Act were re-registered under the 2015 Act. If a search returns no result for an older entity, the entity may have been struck off for failing to re-register, or records may be incomplete in the digital system.
• Registration number is the anchor identifier. Fiji company numbers assigned under the 2015 Act do not change with name changes. Use the registration number for stable cross-system matching.
• Foreign company filing is separate. Overseas companies operating in Fiji register as foreign companies under Part 17 of the Companies Act 2015. These appear in the same ROC database under the foreign company category.
• Annual return penalty. Companies that fail to lodge annual returns face penalty fees and eventual de-registration. Check entity status carefully: “deregistered” is different from “struck off” and may indicate a recoverable status.

Alternatives if you cannot access the Fiji ROC directly

• Aggregator search (free, indicative only): OpenCorporates indexes Fiji company filings but lags official data. Useful for a quick name check; not for compliance-grade verification.
• Fiji Trade Portal (fijitradeportal.gov.fj) provides context on business registration procedures and links to official government systems.

Local data suppliers

• Pacific Business Services and other locally licensed corporate secretarial providers in Suva offer company profile retrieval and registered agent services. No major commercial credit bureau with public retail access to Fiji entity credit data is operating at scale as of May 2026.

FAQ

Can a foreign company access the Fiji ROC directly?

The ROC e-Services host is reachable internationally and forwards to ROC Pass. There is no anonymous search form on that route, so a free name search without an account is not available there. Whether Fiji identity documents are needed to open an account could not be confirmed; confirm at source.

What is the company number format in Fiji?

Fiji company registration numbers are assigned at the time of registration under the Companies Act 2015 and are numeric sequences. Numbers assigned under the prior 1983 Act may use a different format. The registration number is the primary stable identifier and does not change when a company changes its name.

What entity types are registered with the Fiji ROC?

The Fiji ROC registers private companies limited by shares, public companies, companies limited by guarantee, unlimited companies, foreign (overseas) companies, and business names. Cooperatives and credit unions have separate registration frameworks under other legislation.

Does Fiji have a beneficial ownership (UBO) registry?

Fiji has been strengthening its beneficial ownership framework in line with FATF Recommendation 24. As of May 2026, a publicly accessible central UBO register is not available. Beneficial ownership data therefore comes from corporate extracts, company constitutions, and documents obtained from the registered entity or its agents.

How current is the data in the Fiji ROC?

Data reflects filings as processed by the ROC. Annual returns, officer changes, and address updates appear after lodgment is processed. The system does not provide real-time updates; for compliance-critical decisions, request a fresh entity information download or contact the ROC directly for confirmation.

Is Fiji on the FATF grey list?

No. The FATF page at https://www.fatf-gafi.org/en/countries/black-and-grey-lists.html carries the Jurisdictions under Increased Monitoring statement of 19 June 2026, and Fiji is not named on it. Fiji has been reported as sitting on the EU list of non-cooperative tax jurisdictions (Annex I) from 2020 until February 2026; the Council press release of 17 February 2026 blocked automated checks, so confirm at source. The FATF grey list and the EU non-cooperative list are separate frameworks.

What’s the difference between the ROC registry and tax/financial filings?

The Fiji ROC holds the legal entity record: incorporation documents, officer lists, share capital, and annual return status. Tax filings are managed by the Fiji Revenue and Customs Service (FRCS) and are not publicly accessible. The Reserve Bank of Fiji supervises financial institutions and maintains a separate licensing register. For a full global due diligence framework, compliance teams should consult all relevant sources when assessing Fiji counterparties.
