What's Included in Your Certificate

A detailed look at each component of your Nevis Certificate of Incumbency and the corporate details it certifies

01

Jurisdiction and Statutory Framework

The document identifies St. Kitts and Nevis as the jurisdiction of incorporation. Depending on the entity type, it references either the Nevis Business Corporation Ordinance, 1984 (for IBCs) or the Nevis Limited Liability Company Ordinance, 1995 (for LLCs). This establishes the legal regime under which the company was formed.
02

Registered Agent Letterhead

Presented on the official letterhead of the company's Registered Agent, complete with their name, address, and regulatory credentials. This header identifies the party responsible for maintaining the company's statutory records and certifying the incumbency information.
03

Certificate Title and Date

Shows the formal title "Certificate of Incumbency" prominently at the top of the document, together with the precise date of issuance. This date is what banks and counterparties rely on to confirm how recently the corporate information was verified.
04

Entity Name and Registration Number

Sets out the company's full registered name and its unique Nevis registration number. Whether your entity is an IBC or an LLC, this number is assigned at formation and serves as the permanent identifier in all official and commercial contexts.
05

Directors or Managers

For Nevis IBCs, lists each current director by name and appointment date. For Nevis LLCs, the equivalent section identifies the managers. Since neither director nor manager information is filed on any public register in Nevis, this certificate is the only independently verified source of this data.
06

Officers (IBCs)

Where the IBC has appointed officers—such as a President, Secretary, or Treasurer—their names and titles appear in this section. LLCs structured as member-managed entities may not have separate officer positions, in which case this section is omitted.
07

Members or Shareholders

Records the registered shareholders (for IBCs) or members (for LLCs), including the number and class of shares or membership interests held. Nevis maintains strong confidentiality protections, so the incumbency certificate is the standard method for disclosing ownership to authorized third parties.
08

Registered Office and Agent

States the physical address of the company's registered office in Nevis and names the Registered Agent. This is the legally designated address for receiving official notices, regulatory correspondence, and service of process.
09

Agent Seal, Signature, and Date

The document concludes with the Registered Agent's official seal and personal signature, paired with the certification date. These elements serve as the formal authentication, confirming that the agent has independently verified every detail on the certificate.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Practical answers about requesting and using a Certificate of Incumbency for your Nevis company

It is a document certified by the company's Registered Agent that confirms the current directors (or managers, for LLCs), officers, and shareholders (or members) of your Nevis entity. Since Nevis does not maintain a public register of this information, the certificate functions as the primary way to verify your company's corporate structure for banking, regulatory, and commercial purposes.

Yes. Companies formed under the Business Corporation Ordinance, 1984 and the Limited Liability Company Ordinance, 1995 can both obtain a Certificate of Incumbency. The content is adapted to reflect the relevant entity structure—directors and shareholders for corporations, managers and members for LLCs.

The entity needs to be in good standing with the Nevis Financial Services Regulatory Commission (FSRC). Annual government fees must be current, there should be no pending dissolution, and the agent's records should reflect the latest corporate details. If any updates are needed, we can coordinate those before proceeding.

Only entities under our administration qualify. If your Nevis company is currently with another provider, you can arrange a transfer to us. Once the transfer is finalized, you gain immediate access to certificate retrieval and our broader range of corporate services.

The company's Registered Agent prepares and signs the certificate. The FSRC does not issue this type of document. The agent draws on statutory records maintained at the company's registered office to verify each item of information.

Nevis law does not prescribe an expiry period. In practice, banks and professional counterparties typically expect a certificate that is no older than three to six months. For ongoing compliance or a new banking relationship, it is common to request a fresh one.

Allow one to three business days from the date of your request. The finished certificate is delivered electronically, with a hard copy available if required.

Yes. There is no requirement to visit Nevis or St. Kitts in person. You submit your request, we manage the entire preparation and certification process, and the document is sent to you digitally.

A single fee of US$179 covers everything—agent certification, record verification, document preparation, scanning, and digital delivery. No additional charges are applied.
