Frequently Asked Questions: Navigating Macao Business Records
Q: What is the core difference between a Business Registration Certificate and a Written Report?
A: The primary difference lies in the nature and purpose of the document:
Business Registration Certificate (The Credential): This is a title-based document. It acts as an official “Identity Card” or “License” issued by the government to certify the legal existence of a company at a specific moment. It is usually required for formal legal procedures, opening bank accounts, or government filings.
Business Registration Written Report (The Information Profile): This is an information-based document. It is a comprehensive extract designed for transparency and due diligence. While it covers similar data, its strength lies in providing a detailed narrative of the company’s history, shareholder changes, and encumbrances, making it the preferred choice for background checks and risk assessment.
Q: How do I verify if a Macao company is legally registered?
A: You can verify a Macao entity by obtaining its official records from the Conservatória dos Registos Comercial e de Bens Móveis. Both the Certificate and the Written Report provide the “Registry Number” and “Status,” which are the ultimate proof of a company’s legal standing in the Macao SAR.
Q: Are Macao company documents available in English?
A: Officially, Macao registry documents are issued in Chinese and Portuguese (the two official languages of Macao). ChinaBizInsight bridge this gap by providing high-quality, professional English translations to ensure the data is accessible for your international compliance needs.
Q: Can I use these documents for legal proceedings outside of Macao?
A: Yes. Since Macao is a member of the Hague Convention, these documents can be authenticated with an Apostille (Hague certification). For non-Hague countries, we also provide Consular Authentication services to ensure the documents are legally recognized in your jurisdiction.
What is the "Commercial Registry Number" (Nº do Registo)?
A: This is a unique identification number assigned to every business in Macao. It is the most reliable way to identify a company, as company names may change, but the Registry Number remains constant throughout the entity’s lifecycle.
