Certificate of Good Standing & Apostilles

What is a Certificate of Good Standing?

A Certificate of Good Standing is an official certificate issued by the Secretary of State's office, that certifies that your corporation or LLC exists and that it is current with its annual report filings and/or annual franchise taxes.

Certain state agencies, banks or businesses may require such official evidence before conducting business with your corporation or LLC.

What is an Apostille?

An Apostille is a special form of certificate or document certification which is being used outside of the United States. An apostille further authenticates the certified copy of a certificate or document for use internationally (overseas).

An apostille is only recognized by those countries which are members of the Hague Convention of 1961 Abolishing the Requirement for Legalization of Foreign Public Documents.

If you would like to include a Certifcate of Good Standing with or without an Apostille when ordering your new corporation or LLC, just add them in the Additional Services Section of your New Formation Order.
