Our website contains only some samples of extracts from foreign registers.

We regularly receive extracts and documents from commercial registers of companies registered in the UK, BVI, Belize, Germany, Hong Kong, Cyprus, Italy, Spain, the Netherlands, Seychelles, etc.

    Commercial register - the average name of the registers legal entities different states (in Russia, for example, this is a single State Register legal entities - Unified State Register of Legal Entities).
    An extract from the trade register is a document certifying the fact of registration of a non-resident company of the Russian Federation in a foreign state, issued by a local authorized state body, indicating the main registration data of the organization, information about the management, shareholders, pledges, etc.
    The exact name of the document (extract, certificate, certificate) and the content of the information is determined by the legislation of the country of incorporation of the foreign company.

The maintenance, structure, volume of data of registers in each foreign state is specific. The degree of openness of each register is also different.
Many countries adhere to the principle of openness and availability of information. However, in some countries, public registries are closed from the possibility of viewing information by third parties, in some, a formal request from a lawyer or creditor is required.

A significant number of countries have switched to modern ways access to information in registers, offering users services for obtaining extracts and documents in in electronic format. It is often faster and cheaper. However, until now, many state registries do not provide online access in the English (and even more so Russian) version. This means that the user will need at least minimal knowledge of the state language of a particular country in order to understand the possibilities of the resource, the rules of work and payment.
Believe me, on average it takes up to a week of your personal time. And our employees already have enough experience to do it without your efforts.

Despite the great potential electronic document management receipt of a paper document from a foreign registry with the seal of the Register is still relevant (for a court, a notary, an insurance company, etc.). This means that a more complicated procedure for ordering, paying, sending, apostilizing a document, contacting government bodies at the place of incorporation of the company.
Our staff will do this difficult job for you.

Prices and terms are determined for each jurisdiction individually.
The terms of the service are also affected by the format of issuing the document (electronic or paper format). In addition, it must be borne in mind that if the state is not a party to the Hague Convention of October 5, 1961, then the extract is subject to consular legalization.

Register of accredited branches of foreign organizations contains a set of specific information about such units. Find out what this information includes, how it gets into the registry and how you can get it from there - learn from our material.

What is the register of accredited branches and representative offices of foreign legal entities in Russia

The State Register of Accredited Branches and Representative Offices of Foreign Legal Entities (GRAFP) is a systematized set of information about subdivisions of foreign companies that:

  • have been accredited in the Russian Federation;
  • operate under Russian law.

Through accreditation, state control is carried out:

  • for the creation of a branch of a foreign legal entity;
  • for opening a representative office of a legal entity;
  • for the termination of the activities of branches/representative offices of foreign legal entities (F/R JUL).

The date of accreditation is of particular importance in this case, since a foreign commercial firm has the right to carry out its activities in the territory of the Russian Federation through a branch or representative office only from the date of their accreditation. At the same time, the date of accreditation is the day the relevant entries are made in the GRAFP.

The material will introduce you to the tax features for foreign companies operating in the Russian Federation.

The GRAFP is maintained by the tax authorities on the basis of the procedure approved by the order of the Federal Tax Service of December 26, 2014 No. ММВ-7-14 / [email protected] The GRAFP federal database is filled with certain information - learn about their composition in the next section.

The composition of the information contained in the GRAFP is listed in Appendix No. 2 of the order, approved. Order of the Federal Tax Service No. ММВ-7-14/ [email protected]

This appendix, which consists of 29 paragraphs, contains the following information:

  • information about the foreign company:
    • basic (name, registration address, size authorized capital and etc.);
    • additional (about the registration authority, etc.);
  • F/P JUL data:
    • general (name, address, contact details, date of commencement of activity);
    • detailed (information about the manager, number of employees, types of activities, etc.);
  • other information and details of supporting documents.

For more detailed information on the composition of the specified information, see the diagram:

What information about separate divisions of domestic companies will need to be submitted to the tax authorities to enter information about them in the Unified State Register of Legal Entities - see the material "Registration of a separate division - step by step instructions 2016".

How information enters the register of branches of foreign legal entities

Information about the F / P YUL can get into the GRAFP only after the necessary package of documents is received by the tax authorities and the accreditation procedure is completed.

This procedure is as follows:

  • A foreign company that has made a decision to open a subdivision on the territory of the Russian Federation (within 12 months after the decision is made) submits to the tax authorities:
    • application for accreditation (f. No. 15AFP);
    • documents necessary for accreditation, listed in clause 7 of the procedure, approved. Order of the Federal Tax Service No. ММВ-7-14/ [email protected];
  • tax officials study the documents and make an appropriate entry in the GRAFP - they are given 25 working days from the date of submission of the above documents;
  • the accredited branch/representative office is issued a certificate of making an entry in the GRAFP and an information sheet (Form No. 15SvFP, 15ZFP).

Information about F / P JUL may not be included in the SCFA - find out about such situations in the next section.

When information is not included in the state register

A foreign firm that has opened its division in the Russian Federation may be denied accreditation. In this case, entries in the GRAFP are not made.

Rejection occurs if:

  • shortcomings in the documents required for accreditation were identified:
    • by volume (papers are not presented in full or not submitted at all);
    • in form (do not meet the established requirements);
    • by deadlines (transferred to the tax authorities later than the deadline specified by law);
    • by content (the presence of false information in the documents);
  • goals of creating F/P JUL:
    • contradict the Constitution of the Russian Federation, international treaties of the Russian Federation, the legislation of the Russian Federation;
    • pose a threat to the sovereignty, political independence, territorial integrity, and national interests of the Russian Federation.

For an electronic request, 2 conditions must be met:
