SSM company search: check a registration and get the right record
Confirm the company or business number, find it in the right SSM system, and order the exact record the receiving authority needs. If you already have a digital certified true copy, verify it before submission.
Look up a registration in SSM e-Search
SSM e-Search lets you search by registration type and number to confirm basic registration details. Select the registration type and enter the number to check.
An e-Search result is not an official SSM record. It confirms registration details but is not a company profile, certificate or certified document.
Search and order records through SSM e-Info
SSM e-Info is the transactional portal for searching by exact company or business name or number and ordering specific SSM products. It is also listed as a digital service on the Malaysia Government portal.
Select the product you need after searching. SSM offers different products for companies and businesses, and the product list can change. Confirm the exact record the receiving authority requires before ordering.

Compare what each SSM route gives you
These are different records with different uses. Ask the receiving authority which one it needs before ordering or arranging attestation.
| What you have or need | What it is | Next step |
|---|---|---|
| e-Search result | A search confirming registration type, number and basic details. Not an official certified record. | If an official record is required, order the specific product through SSM e-Info |
| Company profile or business profile | An official SSM report containing current company or business information. SSM distinguishes company profiles from business profiles. | Confirm whether the receiving authority accepts this record, then arrange any required certification or attestation |
| Certificate of incorporation or registration | The specific certificate issued by SSM. SSM distinguishes this from the company profile and from the incorporation notice. | Confirm the accepted certificate with the receiving authority before arranging attestation |
| Digital certified true copy (DCTC) already issued | A previously issued SSM digital certified true copy with a QR code and serial number for verification. | Verify through the SSM DCTC Web Checker, then check whether the receiving authority accepts a digital certified copy or requires a separate attestation route |

Verify an existing digital certified true copy
SSM's FAQ directs users to sign in to SSM4U, open DCTC Reader & Checker and enter the serial number below the document's QR code.
SSM announced on 6 November 2026 that the MySSM mobile app is temporarily closed until 30 June 2027. The announcement lists the DCTC Web Checker via SSM4U as the alternative for digital certified true copy verification.
DCTC verification confirms the document was issued by SSM. It does not establish whether a foreign receiving authority will accept the digital format, or replace any endorsement or attestation that authority requires.

Preparing an SSM record for overseas use
If the SSM record is required for use abroad, the attestation route depends on the specific document, its category under KLN guidance, and the receiving authority's requirements. Use the company document attestation guide and the document preparation worksheet to check the applicable steps.
Obtain the record through SSM. If the recipient also needs it attested for overseas use, ThinkPlus can help with the attestation and legalisation route.

Questions
Is an SSM e-Search result the same as an official company record?
No. An e-Search result confirms registration details but is not a company profile, certificate or certified document. Order the specific record through SSM e-Info if an official product is required.
How do I verify an SSM digital certified true copy?
The SSM DCTC FAQ describes a Web Checker that uses the serial number below the QR code. Refer to the FAQ for access details. Use the Web Checker via SSM4U during the MySSM closure. Verification confirms SSM issued the document; it does not establish foreign acceptance or replace required endorsements.
Is a company profile the same as an incorporation certificate?
No. SSM lists the company profile and certificate of incorporation or registration as different products. Ask the receiving authority which record and format it requires.
Where do I obtain an official SSM record?
Use an SSM channel such as e-Info to obtain the official record. If overseas attestation is required, tell ThinkPlus which record the recipient asked for and where it will be used.
