Frequently Asked Questions
What you should know about obtaining a Certificate of Incumbency for your Cayman Islands exempt company
The company must be in good standing with the Cayman Islands Registrar of Companies. All annual government fees need to be current, no winding-up petition should be pending, and the corporate records held by the Registered Office provider must be up to date. We can help rectify any outstanding items before the certificate is prepared.
We provide this service exclusively for exempt companies under our administration. If your Cayman entity is currently managed by another provider, transferring it to us will make you eligible. Following the transfer, certificate retrieval and all of our other corporate services become available to you.
The company's Registered Office provider prepares and authenticates the certificate. The Cayman Islands Registrar of Companies does not issue incumbency certificates. The provider relies on statutory records maintained at the company's registered office to certify each detail.
No fixed expiry is imposed by Cayman Islands law. That said, banks and institutional counterparties routinely require a certificate issued within the preceding three to six months. For any active transaction, requesting a current certificate is advisable.
The certificate is typically ready within one to three business days of your request. It is delivered as a secure digital document, with a physical copy available if your situation requires one.
No. The full process—from request through certification to delivery—is managed remotely. You do not need to be present in the Cayman Islands at any stage.

The fee is US$179 and includes everything: provider certification, preparation, record verification, scanning, and secure digital delivery. There are no supplementary charges.
