You can order certified or uncertified copies of corporate documents. The difference between the two documents is that the certified copy comes with a letter indicating that the document is an exact copy of a document kept in Corporations Canada’s books. Copies are often needed by financial institutions to open a bank account, for example.
Examples of corporate documents:
- charter documents, such as certificates of incorporation
- amendments to articles
- changes regarding directors
- change of the registered office address
- by-laws of not-for-profit corporations
