Barbados Certificate of Good Standing

A company is deemed to be in Good Standing if it has completed all statutory filings and paid all necessary fees. The Certificate of Good Standing confirms

• Exists at the Registrar of Companies
• Has paid all fees and penalties due under the Act
• Is not in the process of being wound-up or dissolved
• Has not had proceedings instituted to strike its name off the Registrar of Companies

This certificate is issued and signed  by the Registrar and sealed by a Barbados Notary Public. Please note that a Barbados IBC business license number (different from the company registration number) is required to issue the certificate.

• A register of shareholders, including names, addresses, shares held, and dates of entry/exit from the register

Apostille Barbados Company Documents

For international use, Barbados company documents can be authenticated with an Apostille under the Hague Apostille Convention. The Apostille certifies the authenticity of the signature, the capacity in which the person signing the document has acted, and identifies the seal or stamp which the document bears. This process ensures that your Barbados company documents will be recognised and accepted in other member countries without further legalization. We offer efficient Apostille services to complement your company documentation needs, providing you with fully certified and legally recognized paperwork for seamless international business transactions.
