Also known as a Certification of Compliance, Certificate of Good Conduct, Certificate of Existence, Certificate of Fact, or Certificate of Status, a Certificate of Good Standing is a one-page document issued under the Great Seal of the state where a company is formed by that state's Secretary of State Office. The one-page document or Apostille is attached to a certified copy of the Certificate of Good Standing. The Certificate of Good Standing Apostille will provide proof of incorporation, especially when conducting business in foreign countries.

​

The document confirms that your business:
• Is up-to-date on its state fee payments
• Has filed an annual report/statement of information
• Has paid its franchise taxes (may not apply to every state)
