How it works
We order a fresh original from the Financial Services Authority. You send nothing but the company name and number.
- You give us the company name and IBC numberNothing else to send. We check the number before you pay.
- The FSA issues a new original1–3 business days
- The Supreme Court adds the Apostille1–3 business days
- You receive itAs a PDF by email, and the original by DHL Express if you choose it.
Several pages, one Apostille
The certified copy is bound and sealed by the FSA, so the Supreme Court attaches a single Apostille to the whole set. The price is per set, not per page.
Amended articles
If the articles were changed after formation, tell us. The FSA can certify the current consolidated version or the original together with the amendments, depending on what the receiving institution wants to see.
What we need from you
- Exact company name
- IBC number
- Whether amendments must be included

Questions
Can you apostille the copy I already have?
Only if it was certified by the FSA or a Seychelles notary. A plain copy from your files cannot be apostilled; ordering a certified copy is usually quicker than having one notarised.
