Registered Agents should call 284-541-3443 from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday, 22 April 2020, to arrange for the collection of hard copies of certificates. Registered Agents should also note that VIRRGIN Lite users can now request certifications to be printed in the Asia Representative Hong Kong office only. The Commission will inform Registered Agents when our service capacity to print and process certifications in the British Virgin Islands office are available.

Registered Agents are to take note that cheque payments will be accepted through our temporary drop-box facility at the Commission’s Administration building on Wednesday, 22 April 2020, and Thursday, 23 April 2020.  These cheque payments will be collected to enable replenishing of deposit accounts (VIRRGIN and others) and will be processed on the same day delivered.  These services will be available between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. each day.
