The registry is governed by the Belize Companies and Corporate Affairs Registry. This registry is where all incorporation documents must be sent and who issues the Certificate of Incorporation certifying the company is fully registered and incorporated.<\/p>\n<h2>Belize Companies Registry functions<\/h2>\n<p>The Belize Companies Registry is the official repository of statutory information on companies incorporated in Belize. Key functions include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Incorporation of companies<\/li>\n<li>Registration of business names<\/li>\n<li>Recording of incorporation documents<\/li>\n<li>Registration of changes in business particulars<\/li>\n<li>Enforcement, prosecution, and striking off companies from the register<\/li>\n<li>Provision of public information about registered companies<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Services we provide in Belize<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Belize Company Restorations<\/strong>: We offer assistance in restoring a Belize company to the Register, ensuring it regains its active status.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Belize Company Dissolution<\/strong>: For companies no longer needed, we help with formal dissolution under the International Business Companies Act.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Belize Certificates of Good Standing<\/strong>: Fast processing of registry-certified and apostilled certificates of good standing.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Belize Company Search Reports<\/strong>: Obtain the current status of a company through search reports with official registry extracts.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Belize International Business Companies Act<\/h2>\n<p>The Belize International Business Companies Act was revised in 2000, providing the framework for incorporating an IBC in Belize. Companies must follow the rules set forth in this act, although reporting requirements are minimal.<\/p>\n<h2>Maintaining Belize Company Records<\/h2>\n<p>While companies have limited filing obligations with the Belize Companies Registry, they must maintain important documents with their Registered Agent. These include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Memorandum and Articles of Association<\/li>\n<li>Register of Shareholders<\/li>\n<li>Register of Directors<\/li>\n<li>Notices and documents filed with the registry<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Belize Copies of Company Documents<\/h2>\n<p>We provide clients with a fast, easy, efficient and cost effective way of conducting comprehensive company searches and obtaining official documents on Belize companies from the International Business Companies Registry.<\/p>\n<p>Official copies of filed Belize documents can be obtained for you from the International Business Companies Registry. This can include copies of:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Belize company Certificate of Incorporation<\/li>\n<li>Belize Certificate of Good Standing<\/li>\n<li>Belize Articles of Association\/ Statutes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Establishing the existence of a Belize company and obtaining copies of official company documents held at the company registry may be required for Due Diligence or Legal requirements.<\/p>\n<h2>Apostilled Belize Company Documents<\/h2>\n<p>An Apostille enables the presenter to bypass further certification and immediately use the documents in the intended country. All Belize Company documents are complete with certification from an authorised body. An Apostille certificate can be obtained for most Belize company documents.<\/p>\n<p>This involves the addition of a certificate, either stamped on the document itself or attached to the document which certifies country of origin of the document, capacity in which a document has been signed, official seal and place, date and document number<\/p>\n<h2>Belize Certificate of Good Standing<\/h2>\n<p>We are able to obtain a Certificate of Good Standing from the Companies Registrar certifying that a company is in Good Standing. The Certificate resembles the initial Certificate of Incorporation and is used to formally confirm the company&#8217;s continued legal existence. It also confirms that all administrative requirements have been complied with.<\/p>\n<h2>Belize Registry Filing Requirements<\/h2>\n<p>The Belize International Business Companies Act requires the Registrar maintain the following company information:<\/p>\n<table class=\"wp-block-table\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Company Documents<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>Filed at the Registry<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Memorandum of Association and any changes<\/td>\n<td>Yes<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Articles of Association and any changes<\/td>\n<td>Yes<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Certificate of Incorporation<\/td>\n<td>Yes<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Certificate of Change of Name (if applicable)<\/td>\n<td>Yes<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Register of Directors<\/td>\n<td>No<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Register of Shareholders<\/td>\n<td>No<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Register of Charges<\/td>\n<td>No, however these are often filed<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Company Accounts<\/td>\n<td>No<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Annual Return listing Directors and Shareholders<\/td>\n<td>No<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h3>Belize Registry address:<\/h3>\n<p><em><strong>Belize Companies and Corporate Affairs Registry<\/strong><\/em><br \/>\nMountain View Boulevard<br \/>\nBelmopan City<br \/>\nBelize<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Belize Companies Registry &#8211; Belize International Business Companies Registry The International Business Companies Registry is the central governing body for all incorporations in Belize.
