Corporate Registries is responsible for:
- the incorporation of businesses, societies and
co-operative associations;
- registering companies incorporated in other
jurisdictions but carrying on business in the Northwest
Territories, and
- the registration of partnerships, sole proprietorships
and certain business names.
Once incorporated or registered, changes to a
corporation's name, objectives, share structure or
bylaws must be approved by the Registrar. The
corporations must also file various other documents such
as annual returns, notices of directors or officers,
notices of the registered office address and financial
statements. The applicable legislation also provides for
the means by which a corporation may voluntarily
dissolve itself as well as the means by which it may be
dissolved or struck from the register for failure to
meet all filing obligations.
All documents maintained in the corporate registries are
available for inspection by the public.
It should be noted that the Corporate Registries
office does not in general act as an enforcement agency, provide legal
counseling services, supervise the conduct of
corporations or non-profit organizations, nor act as a
mediator in the case of internal disputes.
