How fast will I get my document?
Documents from the Financial Services Authority usually take 1 to 3 working days, civil status certificates 4 to 6 working days, embassy attestations 3 to 6. You receive a high quality scan by e-mail the day the document is ready. A paper original by DHL Express adds about 2 to 5 working days.
Are the documents original and official?
Yes. Every certificate is issued by the Seychelles authority itself: the Registrar of Companies at the FSA, the Civil Status Office, the Supreme Court, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs or the embassy you choose. We are the people who go to the counter for you, we do not print anything ourselves.
What is an apostille and do I need one?
An apostille is a certificate of the Supreme Court of Seychelles that confirms the signature and seal on a public document. With it, the document is accepted in all states of the Hague Convention without further legalisation. Civil status certificates come with the apostille included. For company documents you can add it for 79 €.
My country is not in the Hague Convention. What then?
Then the usual chain is apostille, authentication by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and, if your authority asks for it, attestation by the embassy of your country in the Seychelles. For the UAE, a Certificate of Incorporation with apostille and authentication is normally enough. Ask us in the chat, we tell you exactly what your case needs.
Do I have to send you anything?
For company certificates only the company name or the IBC number. For civil status certificates a photo or copy of the old certificate helps; without it, names and dates are usually enough. For an apostille or notarisation of your own document we need the original in the Seychelles.
Can I order for a company that is struck off or dissolved?
A Good Standing is not possible for a struck off or dissolved company. The Certificate of Official Search states the actual status and is the right document in that case. If the FSA cannot find a company at all, there is no certificate; we tell you before anything is charged twice.
Are directors and shareholders shown on the certificates?
No. Directors and shareholders of a Seychelles IBC are not public and do not appear on any certificate of the Registrar.
How do I pay?
Once, at the end of your order, by card, Apple Pay, Google Pay or PayPal through Stripe. There are no hidden fees. DHL is charged once per order, no matter how many documents.
Can you also get a Police Character Certificate?
Yes, on request. The certificate is issued by the Seychelles Police and the requirements depend on your situation. Write to us in the chat and we will tell you what is needed.
