Certificate of Standing

It is my pleasure to offer Certificates of Standing online. The Secretary of State's office continues to use technology to improve and expand services for all our customers.

To print a Certificate of Standing online, you must first search our database for the desired business entity. A link will be provided for you to print a Certificate of Standing if the business entity is eligible. This printed certificate contains a unique Certificate ID to verify validity.

You may search the Certificate ID to verify the validity of the certificate.

I hope you will take advantage of this service.

Sincerely,

Paul D. Pate
Secretary of State
