IPA forms now available from
website
INVESTORS and business people can
now access business registration forms online to start up
businesses in Papua New Guinea without having to front up at the
Investment Promotion Authority (IPA) office.
Forms can be downloaded from IPA’s website www.ipa.gov.pg.
This was made possible after the IPA had resolved to upload all
forms issued by the authority online to enable easy access by
the general public with access to internet services.
Also online are application forms for the registration of
trademarks and others that are issued by the Intellectual
Property Office of PNG (IPOPNG), a division within the IPA.
This would enable clients who wish to register their trade marks
and brand names under the IPOPNG or register businesses with the
Companies Office or even apply for foreign enterprise
certificates to download the appropriate forms from the IPA
website free of charge.
Clients who use this service would have to pay only the lodgment
fees to the authority when submitting their forms.
The move is a result of the IPA’s revamped website development
project undertaken last year as part of its mission to provide
reliable, detailed and up-to-date information to prospective
investors so that they can make sound assessments of possible
locations to invest their money.
