Namibia Company & Beneficial Ownership Directory
Namibia company register data is public and free to search through the Business and Intellectual Property Authority (BIPA), under the Companies Act 28 of 2004. Beneficial ownership was introduced by the Companies Amendment Act 2023, in force since July 2023, but the resulting data is not publicly searchable — it is held with the Financial Intelligence Centre instead. Listed companies must disclose holders of 20% or more; the threshold for private companies generally is cited at 10% in some secondary sources but not independently confirmed. Entity identity is verifiable at source through BIPA.
