Certified Copies

Business owners occasionally need to get copies of their most important state-filed documents, such as Articles of Incorporation and amendments.

Certified Copies are state-issued, exact copies of your original business documents. They're often accompanied by a title page bearing an official seal or the Secretary of State's signature, lending them additional proof of authenticity.

Maybe you've lost the original copy of your document or it's been damaged. Maybe you just want to have a duplicate to keep with your internal company records.

Having Certified Copies of your business documents on hand is also a crucial part of completing many business transactions.

Certified Copies of business documents may be requested by:

• state governments, if you've applied for foreign qualification in those states
• lenders, when you're trying to obtain financing
• banks, in order to open a business checking account
• potential business partners or investors

Along with their Articles of Incorporation, business owners typically need Certified Copies of:

• Certificates of Formation
• Certificates of Authority (evidence of foreign qualification)
• Corporate dissolution or liquidation forms
• DBA/fictitious name filings
