The short version — acceptability depends on destination rules.

Yes — we confirm based on destination country/bank requirements. Some accept certified copies only; others require apostille or consular legalisation.

How recent does Good Standing need to be?

Many banks request it issued within 30–90 days. We can time issuance to align with your submission window.

Can you bundle everything as “one submission pack”?

Do you deliver internationally?

Yes — we coordinate courier dispatch and share tracking details. For sensitive bundles, we can split dispatch (copies vs originals) if required.
