ELECTRONIC COMPANY REGISTRATION IN SERBIA

Electronic company registration in Serbia

Founders incorporating from abroad need to plan who will sign, which documents must be prepared in their home jurisdiction and who will handle the filing. Our Serbian company formation team can coordinate those steps with the proposed directors. The Business Registers Agency’s e-incorporation instructions describe the filing service.

The Serbian Business Registers Agency requires electronic incorporation filings for limited liability companies, joint stock companies, general partnerships and limited partnerships. For a foreign corporate founder, check who is authorised to sign on the parent company’s behalf and how the registry documents and powers of attorney will be prepared for electronic filing.

How does registration work?

The E-application is submitted through the digital platform of the Serbian Business Registry Agency (the Platform). Applying requires possession of a qualified electronic signature issued by the authorized local provider.

The Platform offers the possibility of filing the application documentation in two forms i) digitalized paper document and/or ii) electronic document. Both forms require qualified electronic signature validation of the applicant and/or proxy.

The registrar’s decision period is five working days from receipt of the application. Allow separately for preparing and translating foreign documents and for any subsequent bank account opening.

The registry decision on application request is also issued in electronic form and can be obtained in original paper copy by request.

In this E-application process, besides usual legal engagement, the lawyer’s role is to digitize paper documentation, electronically sign the incorporation documents, pay fees and file the registration application.
