Business Documents
A Company Registration Document Is Not Automatically Proof of Authority Abroad
A South African company document may prove information about a company, but the receiving authority decides what form of evidence it accepts.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will an overseas authority automatically accept my CIPC registration certificate?
Not necessarily. It may require authentication, legalisation, translation or a different company document.
Can VeriDoc determine the foreign authority's exact requirement?
The receiving authority must provide the final requirement.
Why does the document purpose matter?
A company formation, tender, banking, tax or immigration application can require different supporting documents.
