What is a Certificate of Good Standing?
A Certificate of Good Standing verifies that your business is legally registered and compliant. It might also be called a certificate of existence, a letter of good standing, or a certificate of status.
Certificates of Good Standing are often needed as part of transactions, such as financing or acquisition, to register to do business in a new state to let other states know your business is in good standing in its home state or with vendors and partners to evidence compliance.
When is a Certificate of Good Standing needed?
Where can I get a Good Standing certificate?
Good Standing Certificates are issued directly from each state’s Secretary of State (or the equivalent state agency). Many states have direct business portals, such as the Delaware Division of Corporations. Fees and available methods vary from state to state, but many are available online. Simplicity Worldwide makes this process fast and easy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to commonly asked questions.
What is a Certificate of Good Standing
A Certificate of Good Standing is an official document issued by the state that confirms a business is legally registered, has complied with all state regulations, and is authorized to operate. This document is often needed to conduct certain business transactions, apply for loans, or expand operations.
What is needed?
To obtain a Certificate of Good Standing, a business must be up to date on all state filings, such as annual reports, and must have paid any required fees or taxes. Simplicity Worldwide can help verify that your business meets these requirements and handle the process of obtaining the certificate.
How long is my Certificate of Good Standing valid?
A Certificate of Good Standing typically reflects the current status of a business at the time of issuance. While there is no set expiration date, some institutions may require a more recent certificate, especially when submitting applications for loans or licenses. It’s always good to confirm the time frame with the requesting party.
What happens if my business is not in good standing?
If a business is not in good standing, it may be due to missing filings, unpaid taxes, or other compliance issues. This status can prevent the business from obtaining financing, entering contracts, or expanding operations. Simplicity Worldwide will perform a preliminary review before submitting to confirm you are in good standing.
