The Nevis Companies Registry has taken a significant step toward digital modernization by completing an intensive training program for its Online Companies Registry System (OCRS) E-Services Portal. The week-long instructional sessions, conducted from December 15-19, 2025, equipped both internal staff and external stakeholders with advanced digital capabilities for streamlined corporate governance.
Under the leadership of Registrar of Companies and Legal Counsel Mr. Dé-Jono Liburd, the training adopted a phased approach to ensure targeted skill development. Initial sessions focused on internal registry personnel, followed by engagements with key government agencies including Inland Revenue, Social Security, and Financial Services departments. The final phase extended training to private sector professionals including legal firms and financial service providers operating throughout Nevis.
The comprehensive curriculum provided hands-on experience with the OCRS platform’s core functionalities, covering user registration protocols, company name reservation procedures, business registration processes, and post-registration management tasks such as amendments, annual returns, and digital payment processing.
The initiative received regional support through CARICOM representative Mr. Jeshaun Montoute and technical expertise from Mr. Alexandr Iacovlev, Director of UK-based Caseflow Systems Ltd. Montoute emphasized the program’s alignment with CARICOM’s broader objective of enhancing regional business efficiency through digital transformation. “This system represents a strategic shift from manual processing to secure digital platforms, enabling faster, more transparent services while supporting the free movement of businesses within the CARICOM region,” he stated.
Mr. Liburd confirmed plans for ongoing virtual training through CARICOM’s digital learning platform to ensure sustained adoption and optimization of the OCRS system. The Nevis Island Administration’s commitment to technological advancement positions the jurisdiction as an emerging leader in digital corporate services within the Caribbean community.
