Who issues a BVI Certificate of Good Standing?
The BVI Registrar issues the official Certificate of Good Standing. If Griffin Trustees Limited is your current registered agent, ask your usual contact to help order it from the Registry. You can also use the FSC public certificate request service. Have the exact registered name, number, required format and number of copies ready.

Finding missing pages after dispatch
Identify whether the missing page belongs to the certificate, local authentication or an attachment. Send Ginkgo the archived scan and tracking number, then establish how the issuer can supply the missing material.
What does the certificate establish?
The certificate reports the company’s standing at issue. The conditions cover fees and penalties due and applicable requirements for member and director registers, beneficial ownership and annual returns. If a bank needs directors’ names or signing powers, ask which incumbency evidence, register or resolution it accepts. Use the FSC verifier for a supported Certificate ID.

From the BVI Registry to TRO London
Confirm the format, deadline and any translation requirements with the recipient. Complete the BVI preparation appropriate to the document and the local apostille. Send Ginkgo complete scans. Once the London steps are agreed, courier the required papers with seals, bindings and attachments intact.
Ginkgo arranges applicable UK solicitor verification and certification, with notarial coordination where needed. Ginkgo’s express FCDO paper apostille typically takes around 2 working days. Eligible TRO London express applications are ready for collection or dispatch on the 5th working day after acceptance. Allow separate time for issuance, preparation and courier delivery.

How is the TRO Letter of Authorization signed?
Use a corporate resolution or other evidence of authority to check the applicant’s signatory and their capacity. If Ginkgo is acting for you, we review the applicable form, identity evidence and signature authentication requirements and can arrange the appropriate certification. Send the form before signing.
How do I time the certificate for Taiwan?
The general validity period is three months from the date on the certificate. If a specified register or beneficial ownership information has yet to be filed because it is not due, validity follows the applicable filing period.
Check the validity stated on the certificate and the Taiwan recipient’s issue-date requirement. Apostille or TRO authentication leaves the certificate’s expiry date unchanged. If you need a fresh certificate, prepare the authentication for that new document as well.
