Understanding ROC director search

What is an ROC director search?

An ROC director search is the process of looking up an individual by their Director Identification Number (DIN) against Registrar of Companies records, to see every company and LLP where that person holds or has held a directorship or designated-partnership.

A business submits the DIN, VerifyAll returns the person’s details and the full list of associated entities — company name, CIN, role, appointment and cessation dates and entity status — plus the DIN status, and produces a report. It is a core step in beneficial-ownership checks, counterparty due diligence and fraud screening.

Why businesses do it

To see who really sits behind a company, and to spot when the same person directs multiple risky or defaulting entities.

What it validates

That the DIN is valid, whose it is, and every company or LLP linked to that DIN in ROC records.

How it fits into KYB

It is the directorship and beneficial-ownership layer of a KYB check, run alongside GST, PAN and company verification.

When it is used

At partner and counterparty due diligence, lending and promoter checks, M&A screening and senior-hire background verification.

What it confirms

What a completed check confirms

The exact fields returned can vary by what Registrar of Companies records hold for the DIN at the time of the check.

  • The DIN is valid and its current status — active, deactivated or disqualified
  • Name of the DIN holder
  • Every company and LLP linked to the DIN
  • Corporate Identification Number (CIN) or LLPIN of each entity
  • The person’s role in each entity — director, designated partner and so on
  • Date of appointment in each entity
  • Date of cessation, where the person has left
  • Current status of each entity — active, struck off, under liquidation and so on
  • Whether the DIN appears on a disqualified-director list
  • Count of active versus closed directorships
