Overview

Good standing certificate for Portugal: what and why

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.

Authorities, banks and business partners in Portugal usually ask for a legalised good standing certificate for subsidiary and branch registration, bank account opening or 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. Portugal accepts the apostille, so no embassy step is needed.

How to get a good standing certificate apostilled for Portugal

  1. Send us a scan first

    WhatsApp a scan of the good standing certificate and tell us who in Portugal will receive it. We check it and reply with the steps, timeline and price.

  2. Notary in India

    The signatory's signature or the certified copy is notarised in India, as the chamber and MEA require for this document.

  3. Indian Chamber of Commerce

    The good standing certificate is attested by an Indian Chamber of Commerce, which checks your company's details and the signatory before stamping it.

  4. MEA apostille

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

  5. Tracked return

    We courier the legalised document back by Blue Dart or another tracked courier, or you collect it from our Delhi office.

What to send us

  • Certified Portuguese translation, if the authority in Portugal asks (we arrange it)
  • Certificate of incorporation copy
  • MCA master data printout
  • Good standing certificate from a practising CS or CA

Avoid rejection

  • Keep the certificate recent; many authorities want it under three months old.

  • 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.
