How to read the table
- Gov. filing fee is what the registry charges. Agents, registered addresses and notaries cost extra.
- Local director — “Yes” means a resident director is required; some countries accept a bond or an EEA-resident director instead.
- Registered address — a full yellow dot means a provider’s address is accepted, a half dot means it must meet specific rules, an empty dot means real premises are required.
- USD equivalents use European Central Bank reference rates and are for sorting only.
