LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR ROACH ANNOUNCES ACTIVE 
COMPLIANCE FEATURE IN DIVISION OF CORPORATIONS AND 
TRADEMARKS ONLINE CATALYST SYSTEM  
 
Lieutenant Governor Tregenza A. Roach, Esq. informs the public that the 
compliance feature in the Division of Corporations and Trademark’s online Catalyst 
system is functional. The activation of this feature will provide business entities and 
trade name owners with email notifications informing them of: (1) filings that are 
past due and (2) filings with upcoming due dates.   
 
“Business entities are already receiving email notifications indicating what annual 
report filings are past due and upcoming due dates. Trade name owners are also 
receiving email notifications informing them of what renewal filings are past due 
and upcoming due dates” said Lieutenant Governor Roach.    
 
The Division of Corporations and Trademarks reminds residents of the following: 
 
• To conduct business in the U.S. Virgin Islands in a name other than their 
own, the desired business name shall first be registered with the Division of 
Corporations and Trademarks and maintain a status of active/in good 
standing for business entities and current for trade names.   
 
• As required by the Virgin Islands Code, business entities that owe one or 
more years of franchise tax filings shall be administratively dissolved by the 
Division of Corporations and Trademarks.   
 
• Trade name registrations are subject to administrative cancellation if 
renewals are not submitted every two years on the sixth month of the 
anniversary date of registration.
