Overview

Why Sri Lanka 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.

Companies entering Asian markets usually need legalised incorporation and authority documents to register a subsidiary, office or local partner.

Authorities, banks and business partners in Sri Lanka 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, then by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), and finally legalised by the High Commission of Sri Lanka in New Delhi.

Process

Step-by-step: good standing certificate attestation for Sri Lanka

  1. Send us a scan first

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

  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

    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. Ministry of External Affairs

    The MEA checks the chamber's signature and attests the good standing certificate, which the Sri Lanka High Commission requires before it will legalise it.

  5. Sri Lanka High Commission legalisation

    The High Commission of Sri Lanka in New Delhi adds its legalisation stamp. This is the final stamp needed in India.

  6. Tracked return

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

  • Certified Sinhala or Tamil translation, if the authority in Sri Lanka asks (we arrange it)

  • Request letter on company letterhead

Avoid rejection

  • Match the company name and CIN to the incorporation certificate.
