Who issues it
Because directors and shareholders are not on the public register, the FSA does not issue incumbency certificates. Your registered agent does. If you need a new one, ask your agent first; we then take care of notarisation and Apostille.
Freshness
Banks usually want an incumbency certificate dated within the last three months, and some ask for it to be dated after the latest change of directors.
What we need from you
- Signed Certificate of Incumbency as PDF, issued by the registered agent
- Company name and IBC number
