It’s an official document issued by your state confirming your business (LLC or corporation) is legally registered, active, and current on its required filings and fees. It’s commonly required for business loans, opening bank accounts, signing contracts, expanding into other states, or international use.

It depends on the state. Many states can be retrieved the same day or within 1–2 business days electronically, while others take longer. Rush and same-day options are available where the state allows it — we’ll tell you the realistic timeline for your state upfront.

Yes. We retrieve Certificates of Good Standing in all 50 states and Washington, D.C., for LLCs, corporations, nonprofits, and other registered entities.

Only if your certificate will be used in another country. An apostille authenticates the document for international use. We can add apostille service after we obtain your certificate — many clients moving or doing business abroad need both.

It’s the same document under a different name. Some states use “Certificate of Existence” instead of “Certificate of Good Standing.” It serves the identical purpose — confirming your entity is validly formed and active.

Another name for the same certificate. States like Florida, Texas, and New York issue a “Certificate of Status.” Whatever your state calls it, we’ll retrieve the correct version for your purpose.

Pricing starts at $149, and most orders range from $149–$349 depending on the state’s fees and how fast you need it. Your exact price is confirmed before we file — no hidden charges.
