How recent it must be
Most banks accept a Certificate of Good Standing that is not older than three months; some payment providers ask for thirty days. Order it close to your submission date. The Apostille itself has no expiry date, but the certificate it is attached to ages like any other.
When the FSA will not issue it
If the annual licence fee is overdue, or the company has been struck off, the FSA does not issue a Good Standing. In that case you receive the official answer of the FSA and we explain the options, such as bringing the company back into good standing first.
What we need from you

Questions
What is the difference to a Certificate of Official Search?
The Good Standing confirms that the company is in order. The Official Search reports what the register holds on the company at that date, including its status. Banks normally ask for one or the other, sometimes both.
Can a domestic Seychelles company get one from the FSA?
No. The FSA only issues certificates for IBCs. For a domestic company the Registration Division issues the equivalent document; ask us before ordering.
