Fields
An advancedQuery for Barbados accepts these fields:
| Field | What it does |
|---|---|
name | Company name containing this text, across all registers. |
registrationNumber | Exact registration number; may match several registers. |
registrationNumberTo | Inclusive upper bound of the number range. |
registerCategory | Exact published register category, for example DOMESTIC REGISTER. |

Search notes
- A registration number can match several registers. Number 45344, for example, belongs to both a business-name registration and a domestic company. Use registerCategory to select the register you need.
- Name searches match text contained in the registered name. registrationNumberTo gives the inclusive upper bound of a number range. Queries exceeding 2,000 matches must be narrowed.
Company identifiers
A registration number sent as companyNumber is matched against the searchable schemes below; you do not name the scheme. All of them can appear in a company’s identifiers.
| Identifier | Type | Format |
|---|---|---|
| Barbados CAIPO Register and Number CAIPO registration category followed by a colon and the published number; numbers collide across registers. | bb_caipo_registration_id | ^[^:]*:[0-9]+$ |
| Barbados Company Number CAIPO number; only identifies a record together with its registration category. | bb_company_number | ^[0-9]+$ |
Identifier notes
- The register-scoped identifier combines the published register category, a colon and the registration number, for example DOMESTIC REGISTER:45344.
