Plain copy of the company file
A plain copy is a reproduction of your company's file at the Commercial Registry, without a certification seal. It's useful for reference, for your records or for internal procedures. If you need it to have official value before a third party, what you're looking for is the certified copy.

FAQ
What happens if I sell, apply for a loan or file minutes without knowing what my company file says today?
You risk committing yourself based on outdated information: the bank may turn down your loan because your board of directors has already changed, or you file minutes that conflict with the latest recorded ones and the Registry objects to them. Checking your file first spares you that setback.
How much does it cost?
The professional fee, from $25, covers the work. The Registry charges per page, so it depends on the size of the file; we tell you before we start.
Is a plain copy valid for a bank or a court?
Usually not; they ask for a certified copy. The plain copy is for reference and internal procedures.
What's the difference from the certified copy?
The certified copy bears the Registry's seal validating it as a true copy of the original; the plain copy doesn't.
Do I have to go to the registry?
No, we do everything for you.
About this procedure
Let's clear up what this is, because it sometimes gets confused with the certified copy. A plain copy is a reproduction of the documents in your company file without the seal that certifies it as a true copy of the original. It works perfectly for checking what's in your file, for your internal records or for procedures that don't require a certified document. It's faster and more affordable. We locate your file, request the copy and deliver it to you, without you having to stand in line at any government window.
