TL;DR. The Solomon Islands Companies Office sits under the Ministry of Finance and Treasury. https://www.mof.gov.sb did not respond when last checked, and neither did https://mof.gov.sb, http://www.mof.gov.sb or http://mof.gov.sb. https://www.companies.gov.sb and https://www.gov.sb no longer resolve. This guide does not name a replacement address. https://www.investsolomons.gov.sb is reachable and titled Invest Solomons, an investment-promotion site rather than the companies register. No extract fee, turnaround time or online name search can be confirmed, so costs read as unknown rather than free.
What is the official Solomon Islands business registry?
The Companies Office administers registration under the Companies Act 2009. The ministry site it sits under did not respond when last checked, so there is no online search portal to describe.
What can you search?
Nothing online. No Companies Office search form could be reached, so company name, number, status and officer lists cannot be confirmed; confirm at source.
How much does it cost?
| Item | Cost (SBD) | Cost (USD, approx.) |
|---|---|---|
| Online entity name search | Unknown | Unknown |

No fee figures can be read while the ministry site does not respond, so the table above reads unknown rather than free; confirm at source.
Do you need a local account or ID?
Not known. No portal could be reached; confirm at source.
Is the website in English?
Not known, because mof.gov.sb did not respond. Invest Solomons is in English, but that is not the Companies Office.

Practical tips for foreign compliance buyers
- mof.gov.sb did not respond when last checked. No replacement address is named here.

- Honiara agents remain the certified-extract path while the ministry host is unreachable.
Alternatives if you cannot access the Solomon Islands registry directly
- PacLII (https://www.paclii.org) for legislation including the Companies Act 2009, not an entity search.
- Direct request to the Companies Office by correspondence, or a Honiara law firm.
Local data suppliers
