Registrar Certification of Active Company Status

An Anguilla Certificate of Good Standing is issued by the Registrar of Companies through the CRES (Commercial Registration Electronic System) and certifies that your company is actively registered under the Business Companies Act 2022, has paid all annual fees, and faces no pending dissolution or strike-off action. While the formal certificate is obtained through the registered agent, Anguilla's CRES public search uniquely allows anyone to verify a company's good standing status online at no cost.

Reading the Certificate

A guide to the fields and statements found on your Certificate of Good Standing from the Anguilla Registrar of Companies.

01

Jurisdiction and Governing Law

The certificate is headed "Anguilla" and references the Business Companies Act 2022, which consolidated the former IBC Act, Companies Act, and Protected Cell Companies Act into a single legislative framework. All companies formed or migrated under this Act are eligible for the certificate.
02

Certificate Title and Authority

The title "Certificate of Good Standing" identifies the document's function. It is issued under the authority of the Registrar of Companies, who maintains all corporate records through the CRES electronic registry system.
03

Company Name and Registration Number

The entity's full legal name and its CRES-assigned registration number appear prominently. These identifiers are consistent with what appears in the public CRES search results, enabling recipients to cross-verify the certificate against the online registry.
04

Date of Incorporation

The original date of the company's formation is recorded. For companies migrated from the former IBC Act, the original incorporation date is preserved even after transition to the Business Companies Act 2022.
05

Good Standing Confirmation

The Registrar certifies that the company is in good standing — meaning it is actively registered, has paid all annual fees, and is not subject to dissolution or strike-off proceedings. This statement forms the substantive core of the document and is the element most scrutinised by receiving institutions.
06

Confidential Corporate Details — Not Disclosed

Director and shareholder information is not filed with the Anguilla registry and therefore does not appear on the certificate. Beneficial ownership data is maintained within the CRES system but is accessible only to competent authorities — not the public or certificate recipients.
07

Registrar's Seal, Signature, and Date

The Registrar's official seal and signature authenticate the certificate. The issue date establishes the point in time at which the company's standing was last verified — a key detail for recipients who impose a maximum age requirement.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers about obtaining a Certificate of Good Standing for your Anguilla company

It is a formal document from the Anguilla Registrar of Companies confirming that your company is actively registered under the Business Companies Act 2022, has settled all annual fees, and is not facing strike-off or dissolution proceedings. It functions as the accepted proof of legal status for banks, institutional partners, and regulatory authorities.

The formal certificate is obtained through the company's licensed registered agent, who has direct access to the CRES registry system. Third parties cannot independently order a certificate, but they can verify a company's standing for free through the public CRES search portal.

CRES (Commercial Registration Electronic System) is Anguilla's electronic registry. Its public search portal allows anyone to look up a company and see its current status — Active and in Good Standing, Not in Good Standing, Dissolved, or Pending Strike Off. While this provides immediate confirmation, it is not a substitute for the formal certificate when an officially signed document is required.

The company must be current on all annual fees, have filed its last annual return or fee payment, and must not be in the process of being struck off. If the company migrated from the former IBC Act, it must have completed its transition to the Business Companies Act 2022 framework.

No. Anguilla does not require companies to file director or shareholder information with the registry. These records are held privately by the registered agent. The certificate confirms only the company's registration status and compliance standing.

Typical use cases include satisfying bank due diligence during account reviews, providing evidence of legal standing for cross-border transactions, supporting applications for foreign licences or permits, and demonstrating compliance to commercial counterparties during contract negotiations.

The Registrar typically processes requests within one to three working days. Including our preparation, submission, and delivery, the total turnaround is generally three to five business days.

Most institutions accept certificates dated within the previous six months. Some banks may require a more recent version, so it is worth checking the specific requirement before ordering.

If there are outstanding fees or compliance issues, the Registrar will not issue the certificate until they are resolved. We can identify the outstanding items, manage fee payments, and file any overdue returns to restore your company's eligibility.

Yes. There is no need to visit Anguilla. We manage the entire process remotely — from compliance verification through CRES submission to final delivery of the certified document.

Our pricing includes government fees, compliance review, registry processing, and secure digital delivery. Check the pricing section on this page for the current rate. International courier is available as an optional add-on.
