In my experience, these generally don't allow filings for new businesses from those not previously known to the court/registrar in real life.
I can say from my own experience, in some states in the US, it's a trivial matter to create a company online, with no validation of identity or other information. It takes about 10 minutes, and you'll have all the paperwork the next day. When I did this (in a state I had never done business in before), there was absolutely no identity checks, no identity documents, nothing at all that would tie the business to me if I had lied. Creating a business with no connection to the people behind it is a very, very simple thing to do. _______________________________________________ dev-security-policy mailing list dev-security-policy@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-security-policy
