Filing route and document standards

Where any director or shareholder has only a mainland China resident ID (no passport or HKID), or where any shareholder is a non-Hong Kong corporate entity, the Companies Registry requires paper filing with wet-ink signatures - about 3-5 extra business days and slightly higher government fees. Onboarding detects this automatically.

  • All documents in English, or with a certified English translation.
