Overview

When you need a legalised good standing certificate in Saudi Arabia

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.

Setting up a branch, appointing a local agent or opening a bank account in the Middle East usually starts with a legalised set of company documents from India.

In Saudi Arabia, a legalised good standing certificate is typically requested for subsidiary and branch registration; it is also used 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. Saudi Arabia accepts the apostille, so no embassy step is needed.

Saudi Arabia accepts the MEA apostille, so no Saudi Embassy step is needed. Only the current MEA apostille with a QR code is accepted by Saudi authorities, not the older apostille format.

  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 with a QR code, the only format Saudi authorities accept.

  5. Tracked return

Avoid rejection
