Incorporation
Required documents
Which files to upload during the incorporation checklist and how to prepare them.
During the Supporting documents step of your incorporation checklist, you'll upload identity and address documents Korp needs to complete your SEC filing and eSECURE registration.
Why we need these#
The SEC and eSECURE require verified identity for everyone named on your incorporation documents. Korp collects these upfront so filing isn't delayed later.
Per incorporator#
For each incorporator listed in your capital structure, upload:
| Document | What to provide |
|---|---|
| Valid government-issued photo ID | Philippine passport, PhilID, driver's license, or other government ID with a clear photo |
| TIN proof | TIN card, BIR Form 1903/1904, or other official proof of tax identification |
Foreign incorporators#
If an incorporator is not a Philippine resident, a passport is usually the right government ID. They still need a Philippine TIN for SEC purposes — see TIN registration for foreign incorporators for how that works.
Company-level documents#
Upload proof of registered office address — for example a lease contract, utility bill, or letter showing the address that will appear on your SEC records.
File requirements#
- Formats: PDF, JPG, PNG, or WebP
- Size: up to 10 MB per file
- Quality: full document visible, readable text, no heavy cropping of ID photos
After you upload#
Our team reviews each file. If something isn't acceptable, the upload is marked Rejected with a short note — replace the file and we'll review again. Uploading documents does not use the same “Request changes” flow as editing text fields; just upload a new file.
Privacy#
Documents are stored securely and used only for your incorporation filing. They are not shared outside what SEC registration requires.
