There is, however, a transitional provision permitting the continued use of the existing forms for a period of 12 months following the commencement of these Regulations.\nThe Regulations also provide how certain translations of documents, required to be filed with the registrar of companies in respect of the branches of oversea companies, are to be certified.",
