Certificate of Incorporation 

Proof that the company has been legally formed and registered as a corporate entity. It confirms the company's name, registration number, date of incorporation, and legal form.

You received this document from the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) at the time of incorporation. If you no longer have it, you can request a certified copy via asic.gov.au (Form 960). It must carry the official ASIC stamp. This is a historical document; the date on it will be your incorporation date. 

Articles of Association (Constitution)
The founding document that defines the company's purpose, structure, and internal governance rules. It acts as the company's legal constitution and was signed at the time of incorporation.

Your company adopted a Constitution at the time of incorporation, which is the document you need to provide. It is a private document drafted and signed by the founding shareholders or directors. You simply need to provide us with a signed copy. The document must be signed, either by hand or with a certified digital signature. Simple electronic signatures are not acceptable.

 
Register of Directors
A formal record of the individuals legally authorised to manage and represent the company. It confirms who holds executive responsibility and signing authority.

Directors of Australian companies are registered with ASIC and are listed on the ASIC Extract, which is a publicly available document. You can obtain it via asic.gov.au. It carries the official ASIC stamp. This document must be dated within 90 days of your submission to us. 

OR

You can provide a self-prepared document listing all current directors with their full name, title, address, nationality, country of residence, and date of appointment. The document must be signed by the owner or legal representative of the company, either by hand or using a certified digital signature provider. Simple electronic signatures are not acceptable. The document must be dated within 90 days of your submission to us.

Register of Shareholders 
A record of who owns the company and in what proportion. It identifies the ultimate beneficial owners and their respective shareholdings.

This is an internal document maintained by your company and was not issued at incorporation. You will need to provide a certified extract from your internal Share Register, signed by a director or company secretary.  This document must be dated within 90 days of your submission to us. The document must be signed, either by hand or with a certified digital signature. Simple electronic signatures are not acceptable.

Certificate of Good Standing - Optional
Confirmation that the company is legally active, compliant, and in good standing with relevant authorities. It assures third parties that the company has not been dissolved or struck off.

You can use the ASIC extract.

Shareholders:

Each shareholder who owns more than 5% will have their identity checked (KYC). Once you have submitted your business documents, you will add the shareholders.

Each shareholder will receive an email to complete their KYC. They will need to upload their passport and proof of address dated within the last 3 months.

Once all business documentation and shareholders' identities have been checked, your account will be approved. Usually taking 1-3 business days.
