As your registered agent, and as any other licensed offshore service provider, we are required by law to hold a valid ID of the beneficial owners, shareholders and directors of companies incorporated by us. In order to obtain a bank account, this is also a requirement, by law, of the banks. When the passport is scanned and the copy emailed, the reproduction is of an acceptable quality to both us and the bank. The picture can be either in black and white or in color, once the quality is of a high standard. The passport ID must contain the Photo, the information relating to the expiry, any renewals, the signature etc. The passport must be centered with all four edges clearly defined and no corners cut. It is not required to copy the cover of the passport. It is also good for the registered agent to know the beneficial owner to prevent someone from attempting to steal your company.
