BVI Electronic Certificates of Good Standing

The BVI Financial Services Commission (FSC) has now made it possible to receive Certificates of Good Standing electronically.  This service commenced on 8 December 2014.  This new process applies to requests for Certificates of Good Standing for both BVI Business Companies and BVI Limited Partnerships.

The new electronic Certificates of Good Standing will contain the same security features as the existing physical certificates and users may authenticate any Certificate of Good Standing by using the certificate authentication service on the FSC’s website. For verification of the authenticity of the e-certificates issued by the BVI Government, please refer to Kaizen newsletter dated 6 January 2015.

For the transitional period from 8 December 2014 to 31 January 2015, when a request is made for a Certificate of Good Standing, the Registrar will issue an electronic certificate and a traditional hard copy of the certificate at no extra charge. However, starting from 1 February 2015, Certificates of Good Standing will be delivered electronically as the default.  Requests for traditional hard copy certificates will be issued by paying an additional certificate fee.

Should you have any questions about this new policy, please contact us at info@bycpa.com.
