What is a Mauritius Certificate of Good Standing?
Find out what a Mauritius Certificate of Current Standing confirms about your company, who can request one, and why it is essential for international operations.
Dual-Authority Confirmation of Compliance
In Mauritius, the Certificate of Current Standing — commonly referred to as a Certificate of Good Standing — is issued by the Registrar of Companies under the Corporate and Business Registration Department (CBRD). It confirms that the entity satisfies the requirements of both the Registrar and the Financial Services Commission (FSC), including up-to-date annual returns, paid licence fees, and filed audited accounts.

Frequently Asked Questions
Essential questions about obtaining a Certificate of Current Standing for your Mauritius company
No. Access restrictions apply — only the company itself (typically through its licensed Management Company) or a shareholder of the company may request the certificate. External parties such as banks or business partners must ask the company to provide it.
The company needs to be up to date on its annual registration fee with the CBRD, its licence fee with the FSC, annual return filings, and the submission of audited financial statements within six months of the fiscal year end. Any gaps in these obligations will prevent the Registrar from authorising the certificate.
Mauritius companies are subject to oversight by both the Registrar of Companies (for corporate existence and filings) and the Financial Services Commission (for licensing). Both authorities must be satisfied for a company to be considered in good standing — a feature of the Mauritius regulatory framework.
It is commonly requested during bank account reviews, when setting up subsidiaries or branches abroad, as part of cross-border due diligence processes, and when applying for licences or entering into commercial contracts that require verified proof of the entity's current standing.
The Registrar generally takes three to five working days to process the application. With our compliance review, preparation, and delivery steps included, the end-to-end turnaround is typically five to seven business days.
Most financial institutions require the certificate to be no more than six months old. Some counterparties may impose a tighter window, so it is prudent to confirm the freshness requirement specific to your transaction before placing an order.
Only if a director of the company explicitly authorises their inclusion. By default, the certificate contains only the entity's compliance status and identifying details. This opt-in approach gives companies control over what corporate information is disclosed on the document.
The Registrar will decline to issue the certificate until all outstanding obligations are resolved. We can assist with identifying compliance gaps — whether unpaid fees, overdue filings, or missing audited accounts — and managing the remediation process to restore eligibility.
Yes. Everything is handled without the need for an in-person visit to Mauritius. We coordinate all filings through the CBRIS online platform, liaise with the Registrar, and deliver the completed certificate to you electronically.
