Registration of name
24. (1) Any person, natural or corporate, or any agent thereof may reserve a name with the Registrar of Companies provided said reservation is made in accordance with this Part and is made in good faith for subsequent use in formation of a corporation under this Ordinance or for use in changing the name of a corporation already subject to this Ordinance. A name may be reserved under Parts XII or XIII by a non-Nevisian corporation which has filed for a transfer of domicile thereunder. Such name reservation shall not be subject to the time limitation and fee requirements of section 24.(4) of this chapter. (2) An application to reserve a name shall be delivered to the Registrar of Companies together with the required fee. Said application shall set forth: (i) the name to be reserved; (ii) the name and address of the applicant; (iii) a statement of the reasons for the application in accordance with section (1) above; (iv) the name in which the Certificate of Name Reservation is to be issued. (3) Provided the name to be reserved is available for use, the Registrar of Companies shall enter the name upon the reserved name list and issue a Certificate of Name Reservation in the name of the applicant or in the name designated by the applicant. The Certificate of Name Reservation shall set forth: (i) the information contained in the application therefor; and (ii) the date the name was entered upon the reserved name list; which date shall be the date of reservation. (4) Beginning upon the date of reservation, the name reserved will be maintained upon the reserved name list by the Registrar of Companies and shall not be used except by the person, natural or corporate, in whose name the Certificate of Name Reservation has been issued. Said reservation shall terminate upon the expiration of one hundred twenty days next following the date of reservation unless sooner renewed. Upon payment of the required fees, the reservation shall be renewed with the Registrar of Companies for no more than two like periods. An appropriate receipt for the required fees shall be taken along with the Certificate of Name Reservation to be proof of the extension of the reservation. (5) The Certificate of Name Reservation and any renewals thereof shall be evidenced to the Registrar of Companies at the time the name reserved is utilized by the person, natural or corporate, in whose name said Certificate of Name Reservation has been issued.
