Companies Registry

Registers companies, non-Hong Kong companies, limited partnerships and funds. Filings go through its e-Services Portal.

Inland Revenue Department (IRD)

Runs business registration, and handles profits tax, stamp duty and the notices of no objection needed to deregister.

Securities and Futures Commission

How signing and identity checks work.

Entiva collects every signature and identity check the law asks for.

Signing

6 rules
  • Electronic signatures have the same legal status as paper.
  • For private dealings, any reliable signature method the recipient agrees to is valid.
  • The Companies Registry's e-Services Portal accepts only individuals, signing with a password, certificate or iAM Smart digital signing.
  • Founder members, directors giving consent and resigning officers must sign personally.
  • Share transfers, powers of attorney, affidavits and statutory declarations are signed on paper.
  • Foreign documents filed with the Companies Registry need certification under section 775, not an apostille.

Identity checks

6 rules
  • Every director is verified, because directors sign filings and give instructions.
  • Verification uses photo ID plus a live selfie, or the government's iAM Smart digital ID for Hong Kong ID holders.
  • Anyone holding more than 25% of shares or votes, or with ultimate control, is identified.
  • Hong Kong requires a residential address to be collected, not proved.
  • Every customer and owner is screened continuously against UN sanctions lists, plus US, UK and EU lists.
  • Customer records are kept for the relationship plus 5 years.
