What is a Belize Certificate of Good Standing?
Understand what a Belize Certificate of Good Standing certifies, how the new OBRS registry system works, and what access restrictions apply.
Registrar Confirmation of Active Company Status
A Belize Certificate of Good Standing is issued by the Belize Companies and Corporate Affairs Registry (BCCAR) and confirms that your company is duly incorporated under the Companies Act 2022, remains on the register, and has paid all fees and penalties in full. It is a concise compliance confirmation — the document does not disclose directors, shareholders, or any internal corporate details.

When You Need This Document
Typical circumstances requiring a Belize Certificate of Good Standing to confirm your company's active registration and compliance.
Opening Bank Accounts
Corporate banking applications typically demand a Belize Good Standing Certificate as a core component of due diligence and regulatory compliance screening. This officially issued document streamlines the process of opening business accounts, obtaining credit lines, or executing large-value international payments.
Business Due Diligence
Due diligence processes conducted by investors, joint venture partners, and professional advisors routinely require verified evidence of corporate compliance. A Belize Certificate of Good Standing confirms that your company is in full compliance and maintains its active registration under the relevant corporate legislation.
Foreign Business Licensing
Foreign regulatory authorities often insist on proof of a company's good standing in its home jurisdiction before granting operating permissions. A Belize Certificate of Good Standing satisfies these demands, enabling applications for business licences, professional permits, and cross-border authorisations.
Legal and Court Proceedings
Judges, arbitrators, and opposing counsel regularly request official verification of a company's existence and active status. Your Belize Certificate of Good Standing serves as authoritative evidence in court cases, arbitration proceedings, contract enforcement, and intellectual-property matters.

Frequently Asked Questions
Practical answers about obtaining a Certificate of Good Standing for your Belize company under the new OBRS system
No. The OBRS system requires a valid Belizean Social Security ID for access, which effectively restricts certificate requests to Belize-based registered agents and local representatives. Foreign company owners must work through their licensed registered agent to obtain the certificate.
The Companies Act 2022 replaced the former IBC Act and introduced the Online Business Registry System (OBRS). All pre-existing IBCs must complete re-registration through OBRS to receive a new nine-digit business entity number and e-certificate. No Certificate of Good Standing can be issued until re-registration is complete.
The company must be re-registered in OBRS, current on all annual return filings, and up to date on government fees and penalties. If any obligation is outstanding, the registry will withhold the certificate until the matter is resolved.
No. Belize maintains strict confidentiality around corporate ownership details. While the Belize Companies Act 2022 requires that Ultimate Beneficial Ownership (UBO) information be filed with the BCCAR via the OBRS portal, this information is kept confidential and is not accessible to the public or included on the certificate. The certificate confirms only the company's compliance status.
Banks frequently request it during account opening or annual review cycles. It is also needed for registering subsidiaries in other countries, entering into commercial agreements that demand proof of corporate standing, and satisfying due diligence requests from institutional partners.
The BCCAR usually processes requests in two to three working days. Including our compliance verification, re-registration check, and secure delivery, the full cycle generally takes four to six business days.
There is no statutory expiration period, but most banks and institutions accept a certificate dated within the previous six months. Confirm the freshness requirement with the requesting party before placing your order.
Yes. Certificates issued through the OBRS include a QR code that recipients can scan to verify the document's authenticity directly with the Belize registry.
The OBRS offers a limited public search showing basic entity details and status for companies registered after November 2022. However, entities that have not completed re-registration may not appear. The search results carry a disclaimer that they are not a definitive indication of current status.
Our fee covers government charges, compliance verification, OBRS processing, and secure digital delivery. Visit the pricing section on this page for the current all-inclusive rate. Courier delivery is available as an optional add-on.
