How do I open a Gold Standard registry account?

To open an account on the Impact Registry organisations are required to:

• Supply the following documentation by email to registry@goldstandard.org. Please send all documents and information in one batch:

• Company Name
• Company Address
• Company Number
• Company website URL
• Account Manager Full Name and Email Address
• Billing Contact Full Name and Billing Contact Email Address
• A link to your company’s entry on the country’s commercial registry, or equivalent (if applicable)
• A copy of your organisation's Certificate of Incorporation.
• Your company or organisation's registration number, registered office address, names of all directors (preferably an official extract from the registry) and your organisation's website URL.
• A link to your company’s entry on the country’s commercial registry, or equivalent, if applicable.
• A letter stating the identity of the Ultimate Beneficial Owner(s) of the company (UBO).
• A bank statement less than 90 days old from your organisation's bank showing the address of the organisation.
• A letter on your organisation's letterhead stating that the proposed account manager has been duly appointed and is authorised, on behalf of your organisation, to accept The Gold Standard Foundation's Terms of Use and any modification. There must be satisfactory evidence that the individual who has signed the letter is authorised to do so on behalf of your organisation (e.g. director or other senior officer).
• A statement setting out the nature of your organisation's business, your reason for applying for a Gold Standard registry account and how you intend to use the account.
• A copy of ID for the account manager, and any users who require access to the account, along with their email addresses.
• Signed copies of the Terms of Use and Terms and Conditions.
  
  

2. Documentation will be reviewed as part of Gold Standard’s Know Your Customer (KYC) process. 

3. Once checks are complete and the application is approved we will send an invoice for the annual registry fee – this is pro-rated in the first year.

4. Upon receipt of the fee, you will be prompted to set up log-in details to access the account. 

Additional information for project developers:

For certification to Gold Standard for the Global Goals, a project developer must have an open Impact Registry account.  Project Developers only require one Impact Registry account per organisation and can have multiple projects within their account.

After the successful opening of the account, Gold Standard will inform the certification body, who will provide information on accessing the platform, where project developers can submit their documentation and schedule reviews

You can find more information on the Gold Standard Impact Registry in the  Gold Standard Impact Registry user guide.
