Additional Security Feature on BVI Electronic Certificates

Starting on 1 July 2014, certificates issued by the British Virgin Islands Registry of Corporate Affairs bear an additional security feature, i.e. a QR Code and a Certificate ID number.

For verification of the authenticity of the e-certificates issued by the BVI Government, clients may access the British Virgin Islands Financial Services Commission website at http://www.bvifsc.vg and select “Certification Verification?from the Quick Links menu and type in the unique “Certificate ID?listed at the upper right hand corner of the document; or clients may scan the QR code at the upper right hand corner of the document by using any standard QR code reader.

The BVI Financial Services Commission is pleased to announce this additional security feature which allows certificate holders to confirm the authenticity of the information on their certificates. 

Should you have any questions about this new policy, please contact us at info@bycpa.com.
