What Is The Process Of Conducting A BVI Company Search?

The BVI Commercial Registry maintains all companies’ records that were set up in the British Virgin Islands territory. Specified information such as the company’s registration number, office address, incorporation date, company status, authorized share capital, etc can be found in the records. A small fee is charged for each search and different payment options are offered for your comfort.

The British Virgin Islands Company Registry is available on the FSC official website, which in turn can be accessed online. You can find the particular data on businesses registered in the BVI by using the business name or the registration number. At other times, requesting for some information may come with a charge of fee imposed.

To conduct a BVI company search, you can call the BVI Commercial Registry at this number. Contact info: (284) 494 5355-phone/(284) 494 6331-fax.

This should be added that some data in the BVI Companies Registry might not be accessible to public due to specific confidentiality requirements.

These documents are called BVI Companies search and they are issued by the BVI Registry of Corporate Affairs (or ROCA) either in paper or electronic form. More so, we incorporate copies of all the official papers signed by the company to the Registry.

We are a team of local experts with BVI experience who work together with the registry to perform the search and obtain documents in a quick and secure way for you.

The BVI company search document is issued when the company appears in the Registry after the company name or number is used for the search.

BVI company search documents and information on BVI Business Companies, Limited Partnerships and Foreign Companies are requested by the public to be submitted with a corresponding payment of the required fees.

The data for BVI registered entities can be provided by filling out the Search Request Form R820, which includes the instructions and the applicable fees. After completion of form, the search will be conducted and the report will be submitted within 24 hours.
