What is the Certificate of Official Search?
You want to know what information is stored about a Seychelles company? We can arrange an official certificate with a register extract for any company in Seychelles. The company does not have to have been incorporated through us. The certificate is an official issue of the Government of Seychelles.
Anyone can request this official search through us, not only the founder or the owner of the company. The result shows all relevant data about the current situation of the company. You can obtain details on registered IBCs by giving us the company name and/or the company number.
The research report contains an extract from the Seychelles Financial Services Authority (FSA), issued under the International Business Companies Act 2016, confirming the latest company details including the current company status.
The certificate can optionally be legalised with an apostille, should you need to present it abroad. This makes sure that the document is officially recognised as a Seychelles document. An apostille legalises documents for international use, so that they are recognised under the Hague Convention.
We can have the Certificate of Official Search issued for any Seychelles offshore IBC or CSL company, including companies that were not incorporated through us.
What the certificate confirms
- Name and registration number of the company
- Date of its establishment, conversion or continuation
- Name and address of its registered agent
- Address of the registered office
- That the name of the company is still on the Register of International Business Companies, and whether the company has paid or not paid all fees, licence fees and costs due and payable under the IBC Act 2016
- Date and description of any mortgage, charge or encumbrance that has been recorded and/or released
- Whether the company is in active status, in liquidation or in dissolution
- Whether, as far as the documents filed with the Registrar of Companies show, the company is or is not in good legal standing
- Signed and authorised by the Seychelles Registry

The status of any Seychelles company, from the register
The Certificate of Official Search states what the register records about a company today: whether it is active, struck off or dissolved, who its registered agent is and where its registered office is.
It is the document of choice for due diligence on a business partner, for court and insolvency matters and whenever you need to know the actual status of a company, including one that is no longer in good standing.
