TL;DR. Thailand’s statutory registrar is the Department of Business Development (DBD), Ministry of Commerce. Live GET of https://www.dbd.go.th is HTTP 200, title Department of Business Development : กรมพัฒนาธุรกิจการค้า กระทรวงพาณิชย์. The HTML is a Next.js JS shell: 32 script tags, zero forms, zero inputs. A company-search form was not in that HTML. https://www.dbd.go.th/en is HTTP 200 as the same shell with
lang="en". https://datawarehouse.dbd.go.th is HTTP 403 (Incapsula). https://eservice.dbd.go.th is NXDOMAIN. THB 50-200 certified-extract figures are not on the live HTML and are dropped. Instant is not live-cited. priceMax 0 means Unknown, not verified free.
What is the official Thailand business registry?
The Department of Business Development (กรมพัฒนาธุรกิจการค้า, DBD) is the statutory registrar for juristic persons in Thailand under the Ministry of Commerce. The live public host in this check is https://www.dbd.go.th (HTTP 200). The title matches that agency. Search, document order, and account flows were not present as HTML forms on that shell.
DBD administers registration under the Civil and Commercial Code and the Public Limited Companies Act B.E. 2535 (1992). The 13-digit juristic person identification number is the statutory identifier. That number was not observed on a search result in this check.
DBD DataWarehouse at https://datawarehouse.dbd.go.th returned HTTP 403 with body Request unsuccessful. Incapsula incident ID. Financial-statement search on that host was not live-citable from this vantage.
What can you search?
A company-search form was not in the live dbd.go.th HTML (JS shell). Do not treat the following as a walkthrough of a public form observed on 2026-09-04:
- Company name (Thai or English)
- 13-digit juristic person identification number
- Free profile vs paid หนังสือรับรอง
Those field lists are historic description of the register, not live-cited from this HTML. Director names, shareholder lists, and UBO fields were not on the shell and are not live-cited. Do not invent UBO.
Site path https://www.dbd.go.th/search is HTTP 200 as the same JS shell, not a filled results table.
How much does it cost?
| Item | Cost (THB) | Cost (USD, approx.) |
|---|---|---|
| Basic company status (online) | Unknown | Unknown |
| Certified company extract (หนังสือรับรอง) | Unknown | Unknown |
| Certified shareholder list extract | Unknown | Unknown |
| Financial statement extract (DataWarehouse) | Unknown (host HTTP 403) | Unknown |
THB 50, THB 100-200, and related figures are not on the live dbd.go.th JS shell and are dropped. priceMax 0 means Unknown, not verified free. Payment methods were not published on that HTML.
Do you need a local account or ID?
No. The live dbd.go.th JS shell had no login form and no search form (zero forms, zero inputs). accountRequired is No. Do not invent a login wall or a no-account lookup from a form that was not in the HTML. localIdRequired stays No because a Thai ID field was not on the landing HTML.
Is the website in English?
Partial. https://www.dbd.go.th/en is HTTP 200 with html lang="en" and the same bilingual title. Visible English search labels were not in the shell HTML. https://www.dbd.go.th/dbdweb_en/ is HTTP 404.
What’s the turnaround time?
Unknown. Instant is not live-cited on the JS shell. Certified-extract timing was not on that HTML.
Is there an API?
No public API was published on the live dbd.go.th HTML. https://www.bol.co.th is HTTP 200 (title Business Online Public Company Limited (BOL)); that is a commercial vendor site, not a DBD developer API.
What you legally cannot do
DBD terms were not re-read as a full legal text on the JS shell. Do not bulk-scrape. Certified extracts, when issued, are official documents; purpose-of-use rules were not live-cited on this HTML.
Practical tips for foreign users
- JS shell. The live dbd.go.th page is Next.js. A curl of the HTML does not show the search fields. Confirm any search fields in a browser. This curl does not prove field lists.
- DataWarehouse 403. Incapsula blocked this vantage. Do not cite financial downloads from that host from this check.
- eservice.dbd.go.th NXDOMAIN. Do not invent that host as a search URL.
- 13-digit ID. Still the statutory key when you have it. It was not demonstrated on a live results page here.
Alternatives if you cannot access the registry directly
- Commercial aggregators: BOL at https://www.bol.co.th (HTTP 200). Packaged reports, not the official extract.
- OpenCorporates: lagging index. Name-check only.
Local data suppliers
- Business Online Public Company Limited (BOL) (bol.co.th). HTTP 200 in this check. D&B partner for Thailand. Commercial data, not DBD certified filings.
- Creden Asia (creden.co). Commercial KYC layer on DBD-sourced data. Not live-checked as a registry.
Use DBD for the official filing. Use BOL or Creden for credit scoring on top. The official search UI was not in the live HTML.
