Forms - B.C. Companies

Last updated on August 21, 2024

This list of forms used for filing incorporations and updates to company records is provided for convenience. Be sure to refer to the full instructions for what you need to do before submitting your forms.

The BC Corporations Act Regulations requires that certain registrations and updates for companies can be filed electronically. The following companies can file online filings through Corporate Online:

  • B.C. Limited Companies
  • B.C. Community Contribution Companies
  • B.C. Unlimited Liability Companies

B.C. Benefit Companies can file online filings through the Business Registry.

Do not mail forms to us unless the form indicates a paper copy should be submitted or you are instructed to do so by BC Registries staff. Paper forms may be used, however, to assist you in gathering information for online filing.
