TL;DR. The Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI) registrar function is administered by International Registries, Inc. (IRI). A live GET of https://www.register-iri.com failed TLS (unable to get local issuer certificate, ssl 20). curl -k returned HTTP 200, title Home - IRI | The Marshall Islands Registry (html lang=en-US). SOCKS timed out this pass. The Entity Search page (also -k 200) links to https://resources.register-iri.com/CorpEntity/Corporate/Search, which is an Oracle ADF JS shell (no search form in the first HTML). https://www.registeredagent.mh is NXDOMAIN. Instant and Free public-search claims are not live-cited past that shell. lastVerifiedUtc is 2026-09-04.
What is the official Marshall Islands business registry?
The RMI Office of the Registrar of Corporations is the statutory registrar. By statute the function is administered by International Registries, Inc. (IRI).
The cited portal is https://www.register-iri.com. Direct curl failed TLS (incomplete chain). curl -k 200, title Home - IRI | The Marshall Islands Registry, html lang=en-US. SOCKS timed out this pass. That home HTML is marketing navigation, not a corporation search form. A library search form on the home page posts to /library and is not the entity search.
https://www.registeredagent.mh does not resolve. It is not a live alternative.
The Marshall Islands offshore framework sits under the Business Corporations Act. Non-resident domestic corporations (NRDCs) are the usual offshore vehicle. The RMI uses USD and has a Compact of Free Association with the United States. Those facts were not re-derived from the ADF shell.
What can you search?
The Entity Search page at https://www.register-iri.com/corporate/business-entities/entity-search/ is HTTP 200 with -k. Title: Entity Search - IRI | The Marshall Islands Registry. Body text: “Use the Entity Search to retrieve information on an RMI business entity.” The button target is https://resources.register-iri.com/CorpEntity/Corporate/Search (HTTP 200 Direct, ADF loopback JS, no form). Corporation name, corporation number, status, and ship-registry field lists were not observed on that shell and are not live-cited.
How much does it cost?
| Item | Cost (USD) |
|---|---|
| Public entity search | Unknown |
| Certified documents | Unknown |
| Ship registry search | Unknown |
No search tariff was present on the IRI home HTML or the ADF shell. USD 450 / 300 incorporation figures and USD 800-2,000 agent figures are dropped. priceMax 0 means Unknown, not verified free. A “Pay Fees” nav link points at tcmi-inc.com; that is not a live-cited search price.
Do you need a local account or ID?
IRI -k home HTML has no User ID, Password, or login form. The loaded form is library search to /library. Entity Search page HTML (-k 200) has no account fields; it is copy plus a button to the ADF shell. The ADF shell HTML has no form. No local-ID field is on those pages. accountRequired No and localIdRequired No are that observed IRI home / Entity Search / ADF HTML.
Is the website in English?
Yes on the IRI home HTML retrieved with -k (lang=en-US, title Home - IRI | The Marshall Islands Registry). Entity Search title is English. ADF shell html lang=en-US.
What’s the turnaround time?
Unknown. Instant is not live-cited from the ADF shell.
Is there an API?
No public API was documented on the IRI HTML retrieved in this check.
What you legally cannot do
NRDC shareholder and director detail is typically held by the registered agent, not shown on a public search. That architecture was not re-read as a live results page. Do not invent UBO fields. Commercial redistribution of registry output without IRI authorization is not assumed to be permitted.
Practical tips for foreign compliance buyers
- TLS first. Direct curl of register-iri.com fails the issuer chain. SOCKS timed out this pass. The -k body is IRI’s site; the working entity search is a JS shell at resources.register-iri.com.
- No legacy host. registeredagent.mh is NXDOMAIN. Do not send buyers there.
- Public fields were not observed. Name, number, and status lists from older copy are not live-cited.
- FATF / OECD / EU lists. Not re-fetched on this live pass. Check fatf-gafi.org, oecd.org/tax/transparency, and the current EU Annex I list at the time of use.
Alternatives if you cannot access register.iri.com directly
- IRI Entity Search app (resources.register-iri.com/CorpEntity/Corporate/Search): HTTP 200 ADF JS shell. Search UI not in the first HTML.
- OpenCorporates: aggregator only. Not a substitute for IRI.
Local data suppliers
- International Registries, Inc. (IRI) (register-iri.com) is the contracted registrar. Direct TLS failed in this check; -k home HTML identifies IRI.
FAQ
Can a foreign company access the RMI registry directly?
IRI home HTML is reachable with a TLS bypass. The Entity Search app is a JS shell. A working typed search form was not in the fetched HTML.
What is a Non-Resident Domestic Corporation (NRDC)?
An NRDC is the RMI Business Corporations Act vehicle for offshore incorporation. That statutory description was not re-read on the ADF shell.
What entity types are registered in the RMI?
IRI nav lists IBCs, partnerships, LLCs, and FMEs. Those labels are menu text, not a live results page.
Does the RMI have a beneficial ownership registry?
No public UBO search was observed. IRI nav includes a guidance page titled Beneficial Ownership Requirements of the RMI Associations Law. Contents of that page were not re-read as a public register.
Is the RMI on the FATF grey list?
Not re-fetched on this live pass. See fatf-gafi.org.
Why is the RMI registry operated by a US company?
IRI’s home HTML identifies International Registries, Inc. The contractual history was not re-derived from the ADF shell.
