What documents does Bermuda vetting need before incorporation?

Last updated: Oct 21, 2026, 17:46 (UTC+08:00)

Owners are vetted before the company exists. Anyone holding 10% or more usually provides certified identity documents and a personal declaration, and the service provider submits a business plan with them. Other directors and beneficial owners provide a passport and proof of address. Complete, certified documents are the main factor in the 1–2 week timeline.
