A copy of the business registration.

Information from the “National Enterprise Registration Information Portal” (http://gcis.nat.gov.tw).

A certificate issued by the competent authority based on the registered information, as per Article 25 of the Business Registration Act.

How to Apply for an Original Certificate

1.Visit the Industrial and Commercial Registration Section of the government office to conduct a business name search.

2.Obtain the business registration application form.

3.Prepare the following documents (in duplicate):

  • A copy of the house tax statement from the previous year or the property ownership certificate.
