Preliminaties

This CAcert sub-policy extends the Organisation Assurance + Policy ("OAP") by specifying how + Organisation Assurance ("OA") is + to be conducted by the assigned Organisation + Assurer ("OrgAssurer") under the supervision + of the Organisation Assurance Officer + ("OAO") for entities within the defined scope.

Scope

This sub-policy is applicable to:

  • Any Organisation registered in Europe + with a pre-approved trade office registry ("Approved + Registry")

Note

This follows the European style of Chambers of Commerce (e.g + Chambers of Commerce in continental Europe, Companies House in the + United Kingdom and Ministry of Justice, Finance, or Commerce in Eastern + Europe)

Requirements

This section describes any sub-policy specific requirements that are + not otherwise defined in the OAP.

Appoved Registry

An Approved Registry:

  • Must follow the general model of a Trade + Office and is thus a formal authority for dealing with + local trade matters

  • Must have an official mandate by law to register certain types + of Organisation (eg sole traders, + partnerships, companies, associations)

  • Must have a search facility service that provides reliable + documentary Record of the registration of an + Organisation

Organisation

An Organisation:

  • Must be registered with an Approved + Registry with an “active” status or + equivalent.

  • May have zero or more Registered + Name(s) in addition to the name of the Legal + Entity.

  • Must be a distinct Legal Entity (eg + incorporated) OR the constituent Legal + Entity(s) must be identified.

Note

A Legal Entity may have various legal + statuses with different liabilities. The + Organisation may not be capable of legally + becoming a CAcert Member, independently and + separately from the individuals within. The + OrgAssurer must take care to identify which + individuals are Members, and which are therefore the natural legal + entities behind the names.

Extract

Extract(s) supplied by an + Approved Registry:

  • Must be obtained by the OrgAssurer as:

    • Original paper Extract obtained + independently from the Approved + Registry by the OrgAssurer

    • Digital Extract obtained online + from the Approved Registry by the + OrgAssurer

    • Digital Extract with a valid, + trusted Digital Signature obtained by + any means

    • Historical supplemental + Extract(s) where it can be shown that + material changes have not been made (e.g., via absence of + subsequent submissions in official document listings)

  • Must include at least the following information:

    • Full Name of the Legal + Entity

    • Unique Identifier of the + Legal Entity within the + Approved Registry (and + Type of Unique + Identifier, eg “Company + Number”)

    • Type of the Legal + Entity (eg “Limited Liability + Company”)

    • Location of the Legal + Entity (which must fall within the + Jurisdiction of the Approved + Registry)

    • Representative(s) of the + Organisation
