# Align Token Issuance with Issuing Company ## Verify Issuing Company This step ensures the **legal existence, ownership, and credibility** of the company offering the tokens. It involves checking official registration details, corporate structure, and authorized representatives. Verification builds trust, prevents fraud, and is often required for regulatory compliance and investor confidence. Documents that serve as an issuing company verification include: * **Certificate of Incorporation** (or equivalent company registration document) * **Company Extract** from the official registry showing shareholders and directors * **Proof of Address** for the company (e.g., utility bill, lease) * **ID documents** of authorized representatives (passport, national ID) * **Company Charter or Bylaws** (to confirm legal structure and authority) *** ## Attach the Token to the Issuing Company This means **legally and technically linking the token to the company**, so that the token represents real rights (like equity, debt, or revenue share) within the company’s legal structure. It usually involves issuing the token from a recognized legal entity (like an SPV or operating company), ensuring it is enforceable and tied to actual value. To formally link the token to the company and its assets/rights, the issuer may need: * **Board Resolution or Shareholder Resolution** approving the tokenization * **Updated Company Charter or Articles** showing token-related provisions (if applicable) * **Legal Opinion or Declaration** stating how the token is linked to company equity, debt, or revenue rights * **SPV setup documents**, if a Special Purpose Vehicle is used * **Smart contract reference** in legal documentation (linking blockchain to company structure) *** --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
