Overview

Why the Netherlands asks for a legalised good standing certificate

A certificate of good standing confirms that a company is active, compliant with its filings and not under liquidation. Many foreign registries and banks ask for one during registration or due diligence. India has no single ROC-issued good standing certificate; a certificate from a practising Company Secretary or Chartered Accountant, or the MCA master data, is normally used.

Opening a subsidiary or branch in Europe, or signing before a European notary, usually requires apostilled company documents and a certified translation.

Companies dealing with the Netherlands are most often asked for a legalised good standing certificate during subsidiary and branch registration, as well as for bank account opening and tender and supplier qualification.

A good standing certificate issued in India is notarised, attested by an Indian Chamber of Commerce and then apostilled by the MEA. The Netherlands accepts the apostille, so no embassy step is needed.

  2. Notarisation

    A notary in India verifies the signature on the good standing certificate or certifies the copy, which is the first stamp in the chain.

  3. Indian Chamber of Commerce

    An Indian Chamber of Commerce verifies your company and signatory and stamps the good standing certificate.

  4. MEA apostille

    The MEA adds its apostille, which is the final step for a Hague Convention country.

  5. Back to you

    The finished good standing certificate is returned by tracked courier, or collected from our New Ashok Nagar office, ready for use in the Netherlands.

What to send us

  • Good standing certificate from a practising CS or CA
  • Request letter on company letterhead
  • MCA master data printout
  • Certificate of incorporation copy

Avoid rejection

  • Ask the authority abroad whether a CS or CA certificate is acceptable.
  • Do not get the document stamped by an embassy; an apostille country only needs the MEA apostille.
  • Match the company name and CIN to the incorporation certificate.
  • Keep the certificate recent; many authorities want it under three months old.
