[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text disable_pattern=”false”]The Cayman Islands\u2019 General Registry is no longer issuing an original Certificate of Incorporation, nor a manually stamped Memorandum and Articles of Association for new incorporations. Instead, the Registrar of Companies has launched an online filing system for company incorporations and is issuing electronic copies of the Incorporation Documents via the Cayman Online Registry Information Service (\u201cCORIS\u201d) system.\u00a0 These documents include the Certificate of Incorporation, Memorandum of Association and Articles of Association.<\/p>\n

The upgraded online system formed is to provide electronic registrations for company related services such as incorporations, change of names, amendments to memorandum and articles of association, among others.<\/p>\n

To note, the changes on the new filing procedures and requirements are as follows:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Incorporation<\/strong>
    \nThe Certificate of Incorporation (\u201cCI\u201d) is electronically downloaded and printed.\u00a0 The appearance of the CI looks different.\u00a0 It is no longer in blue\/ white ink but is in black\/white and bears an electronic Registrar\u2019s signature.\u00a0 There is an authorization code on the CI so that its authenticity can be verified with the Cayman Islands Online General Registry.The Memorandum of Association (\u201cMOA\u201d) and the Articles of Association (\u201cAOA\u201d) are uploaded as two separate documents and bear electronic signatures of the subscriber.\u00a0\u00a0 Please note that the Registry stamps all pages of the MOA and AOA on the top right corner.\u00a0\u00a0 Sufficient margin space is required to avoid the text of the MOA and AOA being covered by the stamp.<\/p>\n

    The Register of Directors and Officers is filed electronically and the appointment of the first directors and officers (if any) is submitted at the time of registering the company.\u00a0 Electronically stamped Register of Directors and Officers is provided with the Company Kit.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      \n
    1. Filing of resolutions<\/strong>
      \nThe resolutions for the amendment to MOA and AOA, change of share capital, change of the registered office, change of the company name and application for striking off the company are uploaded electronically for filing with the Cayman Islands Registry.\u00a0 The Registry stamps all pages of the resolutions on the bottom right corner.\u00a0 Sufficient margin\u00a0space on the resolutions is required to avoid the text of the resolutions being covered by the stamp.\u00a0 Electronically stamped resolutions are available.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
        \n
      1. Filing of the adoption of new MOA and AOA
        \n<\/strong>The Registry stamps all pages of the amended and restated MOA and AOA on the bottom right corner and electronically stamped MOA and AOA are available.\u00a0 Sufficient margin space on the amended and restated MOA and AOA is required to avoid the text of the MOA and AOA being covered by the stamp.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        For verification of the authenticity of the Certificate of Incorporation issued by the Cayman Government, clients may access the Government website at\u00a0www.verify.gov.ky<\/a>\u00a0and type in the \u201cAuthentication Code\u201d listed at the bottom of the document, together with the \u201cEntity File Number\u201d.<\/p>\n

        For further information on changes to the regime and how they might affect you and your clients, please feel free to contact your KEY account managers.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
