  "title": "Kenya Application to Register a Company (Form CR1)",
  "description": "Kenya's Business Registration Service (BRS) Form CR1, \"Application to Register a Company\" (Section 13 of the Companies Act, 2015; prescribed under the Registrar of Companies (Forms) Rules, Legal Notice 103 of 2017), used to incorporate a company limited by shares (public or private), a company limited by guarantee, or a private unlimited company. Opens Kenya as GovSchema's 40th jurisdiction, via the Business Formation vertical (1 of 6). BRS's own current forms page (brs.go.ke/forms/) publishes CR1 as a Microsoft Word (.docx) template dated 2022-11 (upload) / 2017-11 (document content); this schema is sourced primarily from that current template rather than an older, plainer two-page PDF specimen dated 2016-02 that a Kenya Investment Authority eProcedures mirror also still hosts — see verification.notes and VERIFICATION.md for the full disclosed reasoning on why the newer, richer docx template was chosen as primary. Company registration in Kenya is now filed electronically through the BRS/eCitizen online portal; BRS's own CR1 template nonetheless remains the authoritative field-by-field specification of what a company registration requires, so this schema follows this registry's established \"structural reference over a now-primarily-online process\" framing (cf. pe/sunat/formulario-virtual-709-declaracion-renta, uy/dgi/inscripcion-actualizacion-empresas-formulario-0351). This v1.0.0 covers CR1's Parts I, II, III, IV and V (company details, proposed officers, statement of capital and initial shareholding, statement of guarantee, and additional PIN/NSSF/NHIF registrations); the registrar-internal \"For official use only\" / \"Checked by\" block is out of scope. Bounded repeating groups (directors/officers, share classes, initial-shareholding subscribers, guarantee members) are flattened to a disclosed cap of 2 slots each, per this registry's bounded-repeating-group convention.",

Fetched the BRS docx directly from brs.go.ke (HTTP 200, application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document, 37,952 bytes, sha256:45e367a6eb47c49fef17bc32cec18bd99d281f7ee61715b3eb19ba2968174a8d, Last-Modified 2022-12-21) and the older PDF specimen directly from eprocedures.investkenya.go.ke (HTTP 200, application/pdf, 192,752 bytes, sha256:0772ddb41d4511159fab22ba1fc11194bb0957a06d3388a0270833773e997100, Last-Modified 2016-02-02, PDF 1.5, Producer Microsoft Word 2010). pdfjs-dist getAnnotations() confirms the PDF has 0 AcroForm widgets across its 2 pages (IsAcroFormPresent: false) — a genuine blank-line fill-in-the-blank text form, not an interactive form. The PDF's own item 2 (\"The company is a private company; or\") and item 7 (\"The liability of the members is limited by shares\") print only ONE branch of each alternative with no visible second option or checkbox glyph in the extracted text/coordinate layout — an ambiguous, apparently-truncated specimen. The BRS docx resolves both ambiguities cleanly: it has an explicit 'Type of company' single-select item 2 with four printed options (public company limited by shares / private company limited by shares / company limited by guarantee / private unlimited company), each with its own empty drawn rectangle used as a mark-one-box widget (confirmed by inspecting the docx's raw word/document.xml drawing anchors — a genuine mark-one-of-four selection mechanism, not an AcroForm field), and a parallel single-select 'Articles of association' item 3 (own articles / model articles / model articles supplemented). Given this, this schema models the full 4-way company-type selection and the 3-way articles-of-association selection directly from the docx, rather than scoping down to a private-limited-by-shares-only path. Confirmed via fresh web search that the Companies Act, 2015 (Kenya Law, consolidated to 2024-12-27) and the Registrar of Companies (Forms) Rules, Legal Notice 103 of 2017 (consolidated to 2022-12-31) both remain in force and unrepealed, and that CR1 remains listed among the standard incorporation forms (CR1/CR2/CR8/Statement of Nominal Capital) in current (2025/2026) legal-practice guides, even though registration itself is now filed online via BRS/eCitizen. See VERIFICATION.md for the full sourcing record, every scoping/disclosure judgment call (bounded repeating-group caps, the officer-role best-effort enum, the documents[] nationality carve-out, the final lodging-party field synthesized from both source editions), and the conformance run writeup (2 valid fixtures, 0 errors each; 4 mutation-control fixtures, exactly 1 error each; documents[] requiredness explicitly exercised)."
