USA Certificate of Good Standing – Certificate of Existence
We can provide a Certificate of Standing or its state equivalent for companies registered in any of the 50 U.S. states. Additionally, we offer apostille services for these documents across all 50 states.
A Certificate of Good Standing is a document that verifies a business entity is properly registered and currently active in the state’s records, authorising it to conduct business within that state.
The Certificate of Good Standing certifies that the company has filed all the reports and is current with the filing requirements of the State’s Secretary of State’s Office, and its records are up to date at the Division of Corporations.
The USA Certificate of Good Standing / Certificate of Existence is issued by the States Division of Corporations with an official seal and stamp and with a Secretary of State administrator’s signature.
