Understanding Your Certificate Format

Explore the key elements in your Certificate of Good Standing British Virgin Islands document issued by the Registry of Corporate Affairs.

01

Jurisdiction and Legal Framework

The header states "Territory of the British Virgin Islands" as the jurisdiction. Current certificates cite the BVI Business Companies Act 2004, the governing legislation for all BVI companies, while older documents may reference the former International Business Companies Act 1984.
02

QR Code Verification System

Each certificate includes a unique Certificate ID QR code in the upper-right corner. Scan the code or enter it on the FSC verification portal to instantly confirm authenticity and download an electronic copy. This security feature helps prevent fraud and simplifies verification of Certificate of Good Standing BVI documents online.
03

Official Title and Legal Authority

The document clearly displays "Certificate of Good Standing" as its title. It references Section 235 of the Business Companies Act, empowering the Registrar to certify that a company is properly registered and that all government fees are paid.
04

Company Name

The current legal name of your BVI company appears in bold for easy identification. Only the present registered name is shown to ensure the certificate accurately reflects your company's active status and corporate identity.
05

Company Registration Number

Each certificate includes the permanent BVI company number, displayed prominently in bold. This unique identifier never changes throughout the entity's lifetime and is used by banks and regulators for official verification of your certificate of good standing BVI company.
06

Certified Statements

The Registrar certifies a series of facts as of the issue date — including active registration, up-to-date annual filings, and no pending liquidation or receivership. Modern versions list nine individual certified statements, forming the core of every certificate of good standing BVI.
07

Official Seal and Signatures

At the bottom of the document, the Registry of Corporate Affairs seal and the Registrar's signature authenticate the certificate. The issue date confirms when the registry last verified all company details — an essential marker for banks and licensing authorities.
