A Certificate of Good Standing is a document that is issued by a state agency where certain types of business entities must be registered. In some countries, it is called a certificate of status or certificate of existence. It verifies that a business entity is legally registered with the state and is authorized to do business there. In essence, a certificate of good standing proves that a company is properly registered with a particular jurisdiction, is up to date on all state registration fees and required document filings, and is legally permitted to engage in business activities in the jurisdiction that it is registered. |
