The Tongan government has announced it would launch its new online registry system for the registration of companies, application for business licenses and registration of business names on December 2.
Using this new system customers will file their application online and can freely carry out searches of the online registry in anytime they want.
The ministry will not accept any application or request to amend any registration of companies, application for business licenses and registration of business names on Friday 21 November until December 1, 2014 . This is to ensure smooth transition from the current system into the online service.
The guideline for the online system will be available on November 24, 2014 at www.businessregistries.gov.to. It would outline reduced fees for certain online transactions.
While the re-registration of business names using the online system is free, the current system of lodging application through paper works will still be available.
