How is it possible to access company information in Panama?

Legal entities upon their incorporation are required to be registered before the Mercantile Section of the Public Registry of Panama. The Public Registry is the entity in charge of filing the Company’s information and Public Deeds. This information can be viewed in the web page of the Public Registry of Panama.

To access a company’s information in the Public Registry you need to access https://www.rp.gob.pa and create an account.

Once the account is created, you can search for the specific Company by its name or by its specific ID number (Folio) that all companies registered in Panama are assigned upon their incorporation.

All information available is in Spanish at the website.

Is it possible in Panama to obtain information on pending litigation against a company, its shareholders or legal representatives?

In Panama it is possible to access online the information of pending procedures on https://www.organojudicial.gob.pa/consultas-y-aplicaciones. To access said information you must provide the name of the Parties involved in the litigation.

Only general information of the litigation process is available. It is not possible to access the documents of the litigation without being an involved Party or a lawyer with a generated case file key.

Physically, at the courts, the litigation files are public for any lawyer or authorized person to view the file and its documents.
