How we obtain and deliver it
You pay by card through Stripe on this page. We then request the certified electronic copy from Luxembourg Business Registers (RCS) through the LBR system. The document is delivered as an electronic PDF to your email and is available for download in the customer area, in up to two business days. If we cannot obtain the document, you receive a full refund by the same payment method.
Who asks for it
Lawyers, compliance officers, banks, notaries and accountants request this certified copy for KYC, onboarding, account opening, notarial acts, tax files, court exhibits and transactional due diligence. Business owners abroad order it when a counterparty or a foreign authority asks for the filed Luxembourg document itself rather than a company extract or a report.
Validity, apostille and related documents
Receiving parties often prefer a recent certified copy. The document does not state a single validity period that applies in every procedure, so the buyer should check with the bank, notary, court or authority that will receive it. The file is an electronic PDF with a qualified electronic signature of the RCS manager; whether that PDF is accepted without a paper printout, apostille or legalisation depends on the receiving party. Luxembourg is a party to the Hague Apostille Convention, but apostille and legalisation are separate steps and are not included. This product is a certified copy of one filed document. It is not a certificate of incumbency, not a current extract of register inscriptions, and not an extended company report.
What is a certified copy of a Luxembourg company filing
A certified copy of a Luxembourg company filing is an electronic reproduction of a document deposited for a company at the Luxembourg Trade and Companies Register (Registre de Commerce et des Sociétés, RCS). The file is established electronically and bears a qualified electronic signature of the manager of the register. That signature is used so that the origin of the copy and the integrity of its content can be checked against the inscriptions and the documents deposited at the RCS.
This product covers one selected filed document of a company, delivered as an electronic PDF. It is not a narrative company report, not an extended extract, and not a bundle of several certified copies.
Luxembourg certified document how to get
You do not need your own LBR account. Identify the Luxembourg company and the filing, pay by card through Stripe, and we request the certified electronic copy from Luxembourg Business Registers (RCS) through the LBR system. The PDF is emailed to you and remains available for download in the customer area.
What the electronic PDF contains
The opening pages state that the document is established electronically and bears a qualified electronic signature of the RCS manager, in order to guarantee authenticity of origin and integrity of the information. The following pages reproduce the filed document as deposited.
When the selected filing is a set of annual accounts, the copy typically shows the company name and registered office, RCS number and matricule, eCDF entry date, financial year and currency, balance sheet, profit and loss account, notes forming an integral part of the accounts, deposit reference, and the date of deposit and registration. Other types of filing show whatever was deposited under that reference. Order the deposit you actually need; this product does not attach every document on the company file.
Who uses the document
Lawyers, compliance officers, banks, notaries, accountants and business owners abroad use the certified copy when the receiving party must see the filed text rather than a summary. Common situations include KYC and onboarding, bank account review, notarial or court files, tax or audit support, and transactional due diligence on a Luxembourg company.
How long it takes, cost, and related documents
How long delivery takes is up to two business days after payment. The file format is electronic PDF. How long the receiving party will treat the copy as current is their decision: many banks and notaries prefer a recent file, but the document itself does not state a single validity period. Confirm any age limit with the receiving party before you order.
Cost is the amount displayed on this page in the page currency; that is the amount charged to the card. Amounts in other currencies are indicative. Included are the request to the RCS through LBR, the certified electronic PDF, email delivery and customer-area download. Apostille, legalisation, translation and a paper original are not included.
This item differs from a certificate of incumbency, from a current extract of register inscriptions, and from an extended company report with or without annual accounts. Those are separate products. It also differs from a multi-document set of Luxembourg certified copies of company documents.

How long is a Luxembourg certified copy valid, and do I need an apostille?
