What is a Nevis Certificate of Good Standing?
Understand what a Nevis Certificate of Good Standing certifies, why access is restricted to the registered agent, and how this jurisdiction's strong privacy framework shapes the process.
Agent-Requested Certification of Legal Standing
A Nevis Certificate of Good Standing is produced by the Registrar of Companies under the Nevis Financial Services Regulatory Commission (FSRC) and confirms that your entity — governed by either the Business Corporation Ordinance or the Limited Liability Company Ordinance — holds a valid registration, maintains an active status, and has fulfilled all annual fee obligations. Nevis is one of the few jurisdictions where only the registered agent is statutorily authorised to request this certificate.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about obtaining a Certificate of Good Standing for your Nevis company
The Nevis Limited Liability Company Ordinance and the Business Corporation Ordinance specifically authorise only the registered agent to submit requests. This is consistent with Nevis's approach of routing all official interactions through the registered agent, who serves as the sole statutory intermediary between the entity and the Registrar.
No. Nevis does not operate a public online registry or company search tool. The Open Company Data Index rates Nevis at 0 out of 20 for public data accessibility. A third party can only verify an entity's status if the company provides its Certificate of Good Standing or if the third party obtains a company search report through the Registrar (a paid, manual process that takes several days).
All annual fees owed to the Nevis government must be current, and the company must maintain a registered agent and registered office at all times. If fees are in arrears or the registered agent appointment has lapsed, these issues must be resolved before the Registrar will authorise issuance.
No. Nevis is among the most privacy-protective jurisdictions globally. Member, manager, director, and beneficial owner information is not filed with the registry and is held solely by the registered agent. The certificate confirms only the entity's name, number, formation date, and good standing status.
Banks commonly request it during account opening or periodic compliance reviews. It is also used for foreign subsidiary registrations, investment agreement due diligence, regulatory submissions in other jurisdictions, and any situation where an official confirmation of legal standing is required.
The Registrar typically processes requests in two to four working days. With our compliance review, registered agent coordination, and delivery, the total turnaround is generally five to seven business days.
Most institutions treat certificates as current for up to six months from the issue date. Some banks apply a shorter window, so checking the specific requirement before ordering is always recommended.
Yes. Each certificate includes a unique Certificate ID number. The recipient can use this ID to verify the document's authenticity with the Registrar. However, this only works if the recipient already has the certificate — there is no way to search for a company's status without it.
We can assist with restoring compliance — whether the issue involves unpaid annual fees, a lapsed registered agent appointment, or other administrative matters. Once all obligations are current, the registered agent can submit a fresh request to the Registrar.
Our all-inclusive fee covers the government charge, registered agent coordination, compliance verification, and secure digital delivery. See the pricing section on this page for the current rate. Physical courier and apostille services are offered as optional extras.
