Vision

To become a leading institution in Latin America and the Caribbean in promoting the best practices in managing public registries.

Background

Within the framework of the International Conference to Open Businesses, the Chamber of Commerce of Bogotá, in association with the main registry agencies in the region, launched the Registry Association for Latin America and the Caribbean (Asorlac), whose objective it is to gather together all registrars in Latin America and the Caribbean in order to strengthen how to manage public registries in the region, especially in the business creation process.

The Chamber of Commerce of Bogotá, the Chamber of Commerce of Tegucigalpa (Honduras) and the Chamber of Commerce of Suriname (Suriname) were the one who built the Registry Association for Latin America and the Caribbean (Asorlac). Also, eight registry agencies from Aruba, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Guatemala, Haiti, Jamaica, Paraguay and Peru signed letters of intent to become members of the Association.

The objective of the Conference was to offer a forum for discussion and knowledge in order to promote the exchange of information on registry issues for the various countries. This initiative is intended to promote the best practices in the Region, always bearing in mind the success experiences, through collaboration and cooperation among its members

Asorlac's main objectives are:

• To promote and facilitate information exchange on registration systems each one of the members have, their roles and responsibilities, their management models and the technologies used to respond to the changes and registration trends within the international context.
• To foster collaboration, cooperation and discussion amongst its members, in particular on topics related to the administration of business registrars.
• To identify and overcome issues or problems that could prevent the efficient and effective management of registries.
