So that You can use them in Your country, or wherever You happen to do business. Documents issued and notarized in one country are generally acceptable only inside that one country. To make an official document legally acceptable abroad, the second-tier certification – the Apostille -must be obtained. Without Apostille there will be little use of the documents of a BVI Business Company, as soon as they are outside the British Virgin Islands.
If you wish to open a bank account or a securities account for your offshore company, to purchase a real estate or any other asset that requires public registration, to establish a branch or a joint venture with your offshore company, or to enter into any similar deal where you would have to present the company documents to an official third party outside the BVI – they will all require that Your documents are certified by Apostille.
