Jersey JFSC Registry: Live Cloudflare 403 Wall

TL;DR. Jersey’s Companies Registry is operated by the Jersey Financial Services Commission (JFSC). A live GET of https://www.jerseyfsc.org/registry/ returned HTTP 403 Cloudflare (“Just a moment…”). https://www.jerseyfsc.org returned the same 403. Search UI, GBP fees, Instant turnaround, Free search, payment methods, and UBO access were not live-citable past that wall. https://www.gov.je returned HTTP 200 (title Government of Jersey) and is the States of Jersey site, not the Companies Registry search. This check does not treat gov.je as a JFSC successor. priceMax 0 means Unknown, not verified free.

What is the official Jersey business registry?

The Jersey Companies Registry is operated by the Jersey Financial Services Commission (JFSC), which is both the financial services regulator and the registry authority for companies, partnerships, foundations, and other legal entities incorporated in Jersey. The registry URL in this guide is https://www.jerseyfsc.org/registry/. A live GET of that host returned HTTP 403 Cloudflare (title Just a moment…). The same 403 occurred on https://www.jerseyfsc.org. The search form was not observed.

Jersey is the largest of the Channel Islands Crown Dependencies. It is a self-governing Crown Dependency of the British Crown with its own government (States Assembly), legal system (Jersey customary law, influenced by Norman law and English common law), and tax regime. Jersey is not part of the UK and not part of the EU.

Jersey’s company law is principally governed by the Companies (Jersey) Law 1991 (as amended).

Principal entity types in Jersey include:

• Private company: the most common form, equivalent to a private limited company.
• Public company: for listed or broadly held entities.
• Limited Liability Partnership (LLP).
• Limited Partnership (LP).
• Incorporated Limited Partnership (ILP).
• Separate Limited Partnership (SLP).
• Foundations: under the Foundations (Jersey) Law 2009.
• Cell companies: incorporated cell companies (ICC) and protected cell companies (PCC).

What can you search?

The JFSC Registry public portal was not observed. https://www.jerseyfsc.org/registry/ returned HTTP 403 Cloudflare. Historic field lists (name, number, status, registered office, officers, filed documents) are not a live cite from this check.

Beneficial ownership register claims, public access rules, and TIEA/CRS operational detail were not live-citable while jerseyfsc.org returns HTTP 403.

How much does it cost?

GBP 15-35 figures are not on a 200 JFSC HTML page (HTTP 403 Cloudflare) and are dropped. priceMax 0 means Unknown, not verified free. Credit card and debit card were not observed on a 200 page.

Do you need a local account or ID?

Account rules were not verified on a 200 JFSC page. jerseyfsc.org returned HTTP 403 Cloudflare. Historic copy that basic search needed no account, and that certified orders used an email portal account, is not a live cite from this check.

Is the website in English?

No. jerseyfsc.org returned HTTP 403 Cloudflare, so English UI was not observed. Jersey’s official language for commercial and legal purposes is English; that fact does not substitute for a live registry UI cite.

What’s the turnaround time?

Unknown. Instant leftover claims are dropped. jerseyfsc.org HTTP 403 Cloudflare; no live download path was observed.

Is there an API?

No public developer API was live-citable as of this check. jerseyfsc.org returned HTTP 403. Programmatic access claims are not a live cite.

What you legally cannot do

Jersey’s data protection law is the Data Protection (Jersey) Law 2018, aligned substantively with the EU GDPR. The EU has granted adequacy status to Jersey for data protection purposes. Restrictions described in Jersey law include limits on automated bulk scraping and on using personal data of directors, officers, and shareholders for unsolicited commercial marketing. Certified Jersey registry documents presented in foreign proceedings must carry appropriate apostille authentication. Jersey is a party to the Hague Apostille Convention through the UK’s international instruments. UBO access offences were not re-verified on a 200 page.

Practical tips for foreign compliance buyers

• Trust Company Business is the structural backbone. Jersey’s financial services industry is substantially built on trust and corporate services (Trust Company Business, or TCB). When assessing a Jersey entity, check whether the registered office is a JFSC-licensed trust company. The licensee register was not observed past the 403 wall.
• Funds are a primary use case. Jersey LPs, ILPs, and SLPs appear frequently in international fund structures. Fund documents are typically available from the fund administrator, not from a 403 registry host.
• Jersey Finance redirected in this check from jerseyfinance.je to https://www.jerseyfinance.com/ (HTTP 200, title Jersey Finance). That is an industry body site, not the Companies Registry.
• gov.je is not the JFSC registry. https://www.gov.je returned HTTP 200 (Government of Jersey). Do not treat it as the Companies Registry search.
• Jersey law vs. English law. A Jersey company incorporated under the Companies (Jersey) Law 1991 is governed by Jersey law, not English company law. Legal advice for material transactions involving Jersey entities should come from Jersey-qualified advocates.

Alternatives if you cannot access the registry directly

• States of Jersey (gov.je): HTTP 200 government portal. Not the JFSC Companies Registry search.
• Jersey Finance (jerseyfinance.com): industry body; not the statutory register.
• Licensed Jersey Trust Companies: a practical route for certified documents when the JFSC host is unreachable.
• OpenCorporates: has partial Jersey Companies Registry coverage; use only for indicative name checks.

Local data suppliers

Jersey does not have a dedicated domestic commercial credit bureau. Due diligence on Jersey entities is typically handled by:

• JFSC-licensed trust companies and Jersey law firms (advocates) in St. Helier.
• International compliance and risk platforms (LexisNexis Risk Solutions, Refinitiv World-Check).
• Dun and Bradstreet: partial coverage of larger Jersey-registered operating entities.

Use the JFSC registry for the official filing record when the host is reachable. Use a credit bureau when you need payment behavior or risk scoring on top of the registry extract.

FAQ

Is Jersey part of the United Kingdom?

No. Jersey is a Crown Dependency of the UK Crown, not part of the UK. It has its own democratically elected government (States Assembly), its own laws, and its own tax regime. The UK government is responsible for Jersey’s defense and international relations, but Jersey makes its own domestic legislation. Jersey has its own currency (the Jersey pound, at par with the pound sterling).

What is Jersey’s corporate tax rate?

Zero percent for most companies. Jersey operates a zero rate corporate income tax for most companies. Financial services companies pay 10%. Income from Jersey land and buildings is taxed at 20%. There is no capital gains tax and no inheritance tax.

Does Jersey have a public beneficial ownership register?

UBO register status was not live-citable: https://www.jerseyfsc.org returned HTTP 403 Cloudflare. Historic copy that the register is held by the JFSC and is not publicly accessible is not a live cite from this check.

Is Jersey on the FATF grey list?

No. Jersey is not on the FATF Increased Monitoring list as of this guide’s prior FATF check language. Confirm current status at fatf-gafi.org. The JFSC host was not reachable in this check.

How does Jersey’s registry differ from the UK Companies House?

The UK Companies House serves England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland. The Jersey Companies Registry is separate, operated by the JFSC, and covers entities incorporated in Jersey. Entity types and governing law differ. A UK company number and a Jersey company number are issued by different authorities. A search on UK Companies House will not return Jersey entities. The JFSC portal itself was HTTP 403 in this check.
