The Bank of Cape Verde mandates financial institutions, both domestic and foreign entities with local branches or representation offices, to complete a standardized registration form detailing corporate identity, share capital, governance structure, and authorized operations. The form requires applicants to attach specific supporting documents, including notarial incorporation deeds, commercial registry certificates, tax identification copies, and proof of deposited capital. Submission of this complete dossier formally validates the institution's legal status and operational authorization under Articles 21 and 22 of the Law on Financial Activities and Institutions (LAIF).
