Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common questions about obtaining a Certificate of Good Standing for your Seychelles company
Your company must be current on all annual licence fees owed to the FSA, and the company must not be in the process of dissolution or strike-off. If there are outstanding payments or compliance gaps, these need to be resolved before the FSA will issue the certificate. We can assist with bringing your company back into compliance.
Under Section 351 of the International Business Companies Act 2016, any person may request a Certificate of Good Standing for any Seychelles company. There is no requirement to be a director, shareholder, or authorised representative of the company. Third parties such as banks and business partners can request it independently.
The FSA will not refuse the request outright. Instead, under Section 352 of the International Business Companies Act, the Registrar issues a Certificate of Official Search. This alternative document provides a detailed summary of the company's current status, including any unpaid fees, recorded charges, and whether the entity is active, in liquidation, or dissolved.
Common scenarios include opening or maintaining corporate bank accounts, registering a subsidiary or branch in another country, entering into commercial agreements where proof of legal existence is expected, applying for licences or permits abroad, and satisfying due diligence requirements from institutional counterparties.
The FSA generally processes requests within one to three working days. Including our review, submission, and delivery steps, the full turnaround is typically three to five business days under standard conditions.
There is no fixed statutory expiration, but most financial institutions and regulatory bodies accept a certificate dated within the past six months. Some banks may require one issued within 30 or 90 days, so it is worth confirming the specific requirement for your transaction in advance.
No. The Seychelles Certificate of Good Standing confirms only the company's registration status and fee compliance. Director, shareholder, and beneficial ownership details are maintained privately and are not included in this document.
Yes. Seychelles is a signatory to the Hague Apostille Convention, and the Supreme Court of Seychelles handles apostille authentication. This step is necessary when the certificate must be recognised by authorities or institutions in another country.
Recipients can contact the FSA directly to verify the certificate's details. Unlike some jurisdictions that offer online QR-code verification, Seychelles uses a manual verification process through the Registrar's office.
Our all-inclusive fee covers the government charge, professional retrieval, document review, and secure email delivery. Visit our pricing section on this page for the current rate. Optional extras such as apostille certification or international courier are available at additional cost.
