Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about document certification for BVI companies
We can certify various BVI company documents including the Certificate of Incorporation, Memorandum and Articles of Association, Register of Directors, Register of Members, and other corporate documents.
Standard document certification takes 3-5 business days. Express service is available for urgent requirements.
Yes, certified BVI documents are widely accepted by banks, legal firms, and government authorities worldwide for various business and legal purposes.
Certification verifies a document copy is authentic, typically by a registered agent, accountant, or lawyer. An apostille is a standardized international certification recognized by countries that are party to the Hague Convention. Embassy legalization is required for countries that are not part of the Hague Convention and involves authentication by the relevant foreign embassy or consulate.
Yes, but for companies not managed by Expanship, certification is limited to public documents that can be officially retrieved from the BVI Registry, such as the Certificate of Incorporation, Memorandum and Articles of Association, and Certificate of Good Standing. Private documents like board resolutions or share certificates are only available for Expanship-managed companies.
It depends on the destination country. If the country where your documents will be used is a member of the Hague Apostille Convention, an apostille is sufficient. If the destination country is not a Hague member, you will need embassy legalization instead. Contact us if you are unsure which option applies to your situation.
