Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about obtaining a Certificate of Good Standing for your St. Vincent company
Under Section 24 of the International Business Companies Act (Chapter 149), the Registrar will issue a Certificate of Good Standing upon the application in writing of any person, provided the prescribed fee is paid. You do not need to be a director, shareholder, or officer of the company. However, the FSA may ask for a brief explanation of the purpose behind the request.
The company must be current on all annual fees owed to the FSA, must remain on the Register of International Business Companies, and there should be no pending dissolution or strike-off proceedings. If any obligations are outstanding, we can help bring the company into compliance before the request is submitted.
You may need it when opening or reviewing corporate bank accounts, registering a branch or subsidiary abroad, entering into investment or partnership agreements, applying for trade licences in other jurisdictions, or responding to due diligence requests from institutional counterparties.
The FSA generally processes requests within one to two working days. With our compliance review and delivery steps included, the total turnaround averages three to five business days.
While there is no statutory expiration date printed on the certificate, most banks and institutions accept one issued within the preceding six months. Some counterparties may require a more recent date — 30 or 90 days — so verifying the specific requirement before ordering is recommended.

No. SVG does not file shareholder, director, or beneficial ownership records with the public registry — this information is maintained solely by the company's registered agent.
