Why Papua New Guinea 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.
Registering a business presence in Oceania usually needs apostilled company documents from India.
Companies dealing with Papua New Guinea 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, then by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), and finally legalised by the High Commission of Papua New Guinea in New Delhi.
