Registry Attestation of Active Corporate Status

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about obtaining a Certificate of Good Standing for your Marshall Islands entity
The certificate can be obtained by the company itself, its registered agent, or any third-party individual or organisation through a formal request to the Registrar. There is no statutory restriction limiting it to parties with a direct relationship to the company.
The entity needs to be in active status with no outstanding annual fees or penalties, and all required filings must be current. If your company has lapsed or fallen behind on its obligations, we can help restore compliance so the Registrar can proceed with issuance.
Yes. IRI operates a free public entity search portal where you can look up any Marshall Islands entity by name or registration number and see its real-time status — active, annulled, or dissolved. However, this online result is not a substitute for the formal certificate when official proof is required.
You will typically need it for bank account applications or annual reviews, cross-border joint ventures and investment agreements, foreign subsidiary registrations, regulatory submissions in other jurisdictions, and merger or acquisition due diligence processes.
No. The Marshall Islands does not maintain any public register of directors, officers, or shareholders. The Certificate of Good Standing strictly confirms the entity's registration and compliance status without revealing any information about who controls or owns the company.
IRI can typically process the certificate within one to three business days. Including our preparation and secure delivery, the complete turnaround is generally three to five business days from the point of order.
There is no legislated expiry date, but standard practice among banks and institutions is to accept certificates no older than six months. Some parties may insist on a more recent date, so verifying the freshness requirement beforehand is advisable.
Yes. The Marshall Islands registry can provide an apostille for certificates that need to be recognised in countries that are party to the Hague Apostille Convention. This is typically arranged at the same time as the certificate request.
Not at all. The entire process is managed remotely. We coordinate the application, handle all communication with the Registrar, and deliver the completed certificate to you electronically — no travel involved.
Our pricing covers the government registry fee, document retrieval, compliance verification, and secure digital delivery. See the pricing section on this page for the current all-inclusive rate. Apostille and courier services are available as optional add-ons.
