Certifying business incorporation documents
Why do I need certification for my proof?
If we're unable to verify your information through publicly available sources, we'll need your proof documents to be certified as a true copy. Custom-made documents created by you, such as a cap table, must be certified to be true.
Can certification requirements be waived?
The certification requirement can be waived if you can provide an accessible and unrestricted public link to where we can verify the information provided. In your application, select your proof method, then add a source link to the description where we can find the provided information.
Who can provide certification?
To complete certification of a document as a true copy (official business registry extracts) or true content (custom-made documents such as cap tables), the uploaded document will need to be:
- Signed by a director of the company (irrespective of whether is an UBO or not), or
- Signed by any other person with legal capacity to represent the company (e.g. company secretary). In such a case, the customer will need to provide proof that the person signing the document has indeed legal capacity to do so
E-signatures
Electronic or digitally signed documents must include:
- The name of the signee
- The date on which the electronic signature was added
- A digital signature certificate or certificate number
