In a press release dated March 13, 2025, OCR highlighted the purpose of the new registration certificates, noting that it is going to improve service delivery, and ensure that companies can now access more secure, reliable, documentation.

For many businesses, a certificate of registration is not just a requirement but a crucial document that signifies legitimacy and a firm foundation. However, in the past, businesses have faced challenges regarding the authenticity and integrity of these certificates.
In response to these concerns, the ORC has taken significant steps to enhance the security of these documents. The new certificates feature security measures designed to protect businesses from fraud and ensure that their registration details remain secure.
The new certificates are also designed with an updated look that includes the ORC logo and an official seal. The added security features, such as tamper-proof seals and advanced watermarking, make it even harder for unauthorized individuals to falsify documents, giving businesses greater peace of mind.
