Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions and answers about the Bahamas Certificate of Incumbency
Your company must be in good standing with the Bahamas Registrar General. In practice, this means annual fees are paid, no dissolution or strike-off is pending, and the company's director and shareholder records are current. Should anything be outstanding, we can help bring the company into compliance before the certificate is issued.
Only companies under our administration are eligible for this service. If your Bahamas company is currently administered elsewhere, you are welcome to transfer it to us. After the transfer, you will have access to certificate retrieval along with our other corporate services.
The Registered Agent of the company prepares and signs the document. It is not issued by the Bahamas Registrar General's Department. The agent draws on the corporate records maintained at the registered office to verify every detail.
Bahamian law does not impose an expiry date. In practice, however, financial institutions and due-diligence teams generally expect a certificate that is no more than three to six months old. If your transaction is time-sensitive, ordering a new one is recommended.
The standard processing period is one to three business days from the date we receive your request. The completed certificate is delivered digitally, and a physical original can be arranged if needed.
No. We manage the entire process remotely—from coordinating with the Registered Agent to delivering the final document. There is no need to be physically present in the Bahamas at any point.
