Identify Zanzibar’s registration authority first
The Zanzibar Business and Property Registration Agency administers company registration in Zanzibar. Its role should be distinguished from BRELA's mainland Tanzania services when checking a business that operates across both areas. Obtain the company name, registration reference and the authority shown on its documents before searching further. BPRA's company guidance covers registration through its online system, including the company information and supporting documents submitted for the relevant entity type.
Clarify access to records instead of assuming an open file
An online registration account is a filing channel, not evidence that every corporate record can be viewed by any visitor. Ask BPRA which search, extract or certification is available for the question you need answered and how to submit the request. Keep the reply associated with the company's reference and compare issued documents with later changes claimed by the business. This is particularly useful where a trade name, registered company and local licence appear on different papers.
