It must bear the official stamp and signature of the Registrar of Corporate Affairs.
Memorandum and Articles of Association

This was filed at incorporation and is also a historical document. Request it directly from your registered agent. It must bear the Registrar of Corporate Affairs' official stamp and a wet signature from your registered agent.
Register of Directors (List of Directors)
A record of the individuals legally authorised to manage and represent the company.
You can obtain this directly from the BVI Financial Services Commission's public search portal, or request it through your registered agent.

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. This usually takes 1–3 business days.
