Schmidt & Schmidt provides extracts from the commercial register of Montserrat with a translation and an apostille.

Montserrat is a British overseas territory in the Caribbean Sea. It is one of the Lesser Antilles islands, an internally self-governing democratic dependency of the British Crown. Head of State is Queen Elizabeth II, represented here by the appointed Governor. Local currency is the Eastern Caribbean dollar. Official language is English.

Economy of Montserrat was severely damaged due to the eruption of Soufrière Hills volcano in 1995. Plymouth, the capital city and centre of political and economic life of Montserrat, was destroyed and since then been abandoned. To this day, half of the island of Montserrat is an exclusion zone. The budget of Montserrat relies on the supplies from the Department for International Development (DFID) of the British government.

Montserrat is not fully dependent on the United Kingdom though. On its own, it is an offshore centre that sets out the favourable regime for the offshore banking (established by the Offshore Banking Act and 2001 Financial Services Commission Act). Montserrat attracts offshore businesses with its confidentiality laws: for instance, public commercial registers do not include any information about owners and shareholders of companies. Montserrat’s tax legislation makes it qualify as a tax haven. Unlike other British offshore zones, Montserrat was not mentioned in any high-profile offshore scandals.
