Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about the Samoa Certificate of Incumbency for international companies
Your international company must be in good standing with the Samoa International Finance Authority (SIFA). All annual registration fees need to be current, there must be no pending cancellation of registration, and the Registered Agent's records should be up to date. We can help sort out any outstanding items before proceeding.
Only companies that are under our administration. If your Samoa company is currently administered by another provider, transferring it to us will give you access to this service along with our wider portfolio of corporate support.
The company's Registered Agent prepares, signs, and seals the certificate. SIFA does not produce incumbency certificates. The agent verifies the information against statutory records maintained at the company's registered office in Samoa.
Samoan law does not set a formal expiry. As a matter of practice, most banks and legal firms prefer a certificate issued within three to six months. If you are approaching a time-sensitive deadline, we recommend requesting a new one.
