Insolvency register
The insolvency register is an open information retrieval service published by the Legal Register Centre (LRC). It is a quick and easy way of searching for information.
Anyone can search for insolvency information (insolvency matters) from this free public information retrieval service. The insolvency register
contains the same information as the register of bankruptcies
and restructurings and register of debt adjustments
.
For debt adjustment matters, the register only contains information on business debts incurred by private individuals.
The debt adjustment information of private debts has to be requested separately from the Legal Register Centre. Read more on the "Register of debt adjustments" page.

The register provides information on, for example:
- applications and decisions concerning bankruptcies and corporate restructurings;

- the bankruptcy's lodgement date or the estate administrator's details.
