How do you check a company on the ADGM public register?
The ADGM Registration Authority incorporates and supervises the companies registered in Abu Dhabi Global Market. It runs a public register of entities and publishes public notices — including strike-off and winding-up notices — so a company's standing in ADGM, and any move to remove it from the register, can be confirmed at source.
What it publishes
- A public register of ADGM-registered entities with name, registration number and status.
- Public notices, including proposed and completed strike-offs and winding-up notices.
- Changes to a company's standing, such as a move from active to struck off.
- Registered office and licensing details for entities operating in ADGM.
How to check its records
- Search the ADGM public registers on adgm.com by company name or registration number to confirm the entity exists and its current status.
- Read the Registration Authority public notices for strike-off or winding-up entries naming the company — these are the clearest distress signals the register carries.
- Treat "struck off" as material: a struck-off entity has been removed from the register and can no longer legitimately trade as that company.
