Public Records available at the British Virgin Islands Registry of Corporate Affairs

A public search may be conducted either online or in person at the Registry of Corporate Affairs and the information obtained upon payment of the requisite fee. The standard documents which are available to the public are:

• Certificate of Incorporation

• Memorandum and Articles of Association

• Register of Charges, if filed

• Any amendments to the Memorandum and Articles of Association, once filed.

The private filing of the register of directors is a mandatory filing. Following the amendment to the BC Act which went into effect on 1 January 2023, a list of the directors filed privately may now be obtained once requested. The only information on the register would be a list of the current directors. All other information remains private hence details of directors are unavailable.

As for directors, a search may only be conducted by company name and not names of directors. Therefore, if you wish to conduct a public search for names of directors you must search by company name.

(1) "The British Virgin Islands Financial Services Commission ("FSC") will provide the names of directors of BVI companies to registered users of the online VIRRGIN system, as well as in person searches or online at the BVI companies Registry.

(2) The names of current directors will be available to the public. The directors' date of birth, nationality, address and other personal information will not be available to the public.
