How to get your DTI or SEC registration

This is proof your business is legally registered. Which one you need depends on how your business is set up.

If you are a SOLE PROPRIETOR (just you, under a business name), register a Business Name with the DTI. It is done fully online and usually approved within minutes.

1. Go to the DTI Business Name Registration System: https://bnrs.dti.gov.ph

2. Search that your business name is available, then fill in your details and pick your territorial scope (Barangay, City, Regional, or National — a wider scope costs a bit more).

3. Pay the fee online. Download the DTI Business Name Certificate (PDF).

If you are a CORPORATION or PARTNERSHIP, register with the SEC instead, through eSPARC: https://esparc.sec.gov.ph

Once approved, download your SEC Certificate of Registration.

Upload whichever certificate applies to you (PDF, JPG, or PNG, up to 15 MB). You only need one — DTI OR SEC, not both.
