A certificate of person with significant control is a document used to confirm the identity of the person with significant control of a business entity. It also confirms the name of the firm, registered number, and registered office address.

A certificate of beneficial ownership is often used to prove that a particular individual is authorised to enact legally binding transactions on behalf of an entity.

Certificates of person with significant control are issued by the business formation agent. The person with significant control can produce the certificate as the evidence of his/her position within the firm to any interested party in any administrative or legal proceedings or official injury.

Your certificate will be printed in an elegant format, sealed and laminated. If you need to apply for such certificate, please pay for the delivery.

The main company must deliver certified copies (translated (if needed), notarised and apostilled (or consular legalised) of its constitutional documents; a copy of the latest set of audited accounts (with certified translations); and the particulars of the main company's directors and secretary.

However, if the company is closing a branch registration, it may rely on the documents or the particulars of the directors and secretary previously filed in that part of Great Britain, provided any relevant alterations to those documents have been updated on the register.

The copy of the instrument constituting or defining the constitution of the company; a copy of the latest set of audited accounts; and the particulars of the main company's directors and secretary must be certified in the place of incorporation of the main company to be a true copy: -

(a) by an official of the Government to whose custody the original is committed; or
(b) by a notary public; or
(c) by an officer of the company on oath taken before:
(i) a person having authority in that place to administer an oath; or
(ii) any of the British officials mentioned in section 6 of the Commissioners for Oaths Act 1889.

About Certified Translation:
The translation of the instrument must be certified to be a correct translation :-

(a) if the translation was made in the United Kingdom, by: -
- a notary public in any part of the United Kingdom;
- a solicitor (if the translation was made in Scotland), a solicitor of the Supreme Court of Judicature of England Wales (if it was made in England or Wales), or a solicitor of the Supreme Court of Judicature of Northern Ireland (if it was made in Northern Ireland); or
- a person certified by a person mentioned above to be known to him to be competent to translate.

(b) if the translation was made outside the United Kingdom, by:-
- a notary public;
- a person authorised in the place where the translation was made to administer an oath;
- any of the British officials mentioned in section 6 of the Commissioners for Oaths Act 1889;
- a person certified by a person mentioned above to be known to him to be competent to translate the document into English.

There are two ways to have your documents certified as authentic so that you can use them in foreign countries: by apostille, or by consular legalisation.

Apostille is the kind of authentication accepted in countries which are signatories to the Hague Convention. For use in a country which is not a signatory to the convention, a document must be legalised by the consulate of the country where the document was issued.

About the time frame for documents certification: -
The time indicated for these services is the time it will take to certify your documents from the moment we receive them, and not from the moment that your company is registered. Certain documents take longer to prepare or to reach us, which can delay the process.
