What the certificate contains
It confirms the company name, number, date of incorporation, registered agent and current status, for example active, struck off or dissolved. It does not list directors or shareholders: in the Seychelles that information is not public and does not appear on the certificate.
No notary needed
The certificate is issued and signed by the FSA, a public authority. It therefore goes straight to the Supreme Court for the Apostille, without a notary in between. This is why the price is fixed and the process is short.
What we need from you
- Exact company name
- IBC number
- Purpose and country of use

Questions
What happens if the FSA cannot find the company?
The FSA then issues a negative reply instead of a certificate. A search was carried out and paid for, so the service counts as delivered. Check the name and number before ordering; we warn you if a number cannot be an IBC number.
Is the search useful for a dissolved company?
Yes. It is the usual way to obtain an official statement that a company has been struck off or dissolved, including the date.
