Introduction
Electronic submission services for applications for incorporation of local companies, applications for registration of non-Hong Kong companies, specified forms and other documents under the Companies Ordinance (Cap. 622) and the Companies (Winding Up and Miscellaneous Provisions) Ordinance (Cap. 32) (except for sections 38D and 342C) are available at the e-Filing Services of the e-Services Portal. Web forms will be provided for completion online and the “drafts” can be saved for subsequent review and update before submission.
To provide our customers with a convenient and integrated service, the e-Services Portal also serves as a one-stop platform for company and business registration whereby any online application for incorporation of a local company or application for registration of a non-Hong Kong company will be deemed to be an application for business registration simultaneously. Moreover, upon submission of a Notice of Change of Address of Registered Office (e-Form NR1), an optional electronic one-stop notification service is available for a local company to report the change of registered office address also as a change of business address to the Inland Revenue Department.
Registered users can submit documents individually or in bulk online through the e-Services Portal.
