Frequently Asked Questions
What you need to know about retrieving a Certificate of Good Standing from the Panama Public Registry
Yes. Panama's Public Registry operates on a fully public basis. Any individual or organisation can request a Certificate of Good Standing for any registered Panama corporation — no relationship to the company is needed and no authorisation from the company is required.
Every Panama corporation must pay a flat annual franchise tax (Tasa Unica) of US$300. If this tax is overdue, the Public Registry will block all certificate issuance and any changes to the entity's records until the arrears — plus applicable late penalties — are settled.
Panama's certificate is unusually comprehensive. Beyond confirming the company's good standing, it lists directors, officers, the legal representative, the resident agent, authorised capital, and original subscribers. Most other offshore jurisdictions limit their certificates to basic compliance confirmation without disclosing any corporate officers.
No. Official certificates from the Panama Public Registry are issued in Spanish. If you need an English version for a bank or foreign authority, a certified translation can be arranged. The translated document is then typically presented alongside the original Spanish certificate.
It is required for corporate bank account openings and reviews, international contract execution, foreign subsidiary or branch registrations, due diligence by potential investors or partners, and regulatory filings in jurisdictions that demand proof of a company's home-country standing.
The Public Registry typically issues certificates within one to two business days. With our review and delivery steps, the complete turnaround is generally two to four business days.
Not exactly. The certificate lists the original subscribers — the founding shareholders at the time of incorporation. Subsequent share transfers are handled privately and are not recorded in the Public Registry. As a result, the current beneficial owners do not appear on the document.
Yes. Panama is a party to the Hague Apostille Convention, and apostille authentication is handled through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. This is essential when the certificate needs to be recognised by banks or authorities in other countries.
Yes. Third-party platforms such as Panadata allow public searches of Panama corporations, showing the company's status, directors, resident agent, and other publicly filed details. The formal certificate is needed when an officially sealed and signed document is required.
Our fee includes the Public Registry charge, document retrieval, quality review, and secure digital delivery. See the pricing section on this page for the current rate. Apostille authentication, certified translation, and courier delivery are available as optional add-ons.
