Proof the company is current.
A certificate of good standing, called a certificate of existence in some states, is issued by the Secretary of State to confirm that a company is registered and up to date with its state filings.
Foreign banks, registries and buyers ask for an apostilled certificate to open an account, register a branch, bid on a contract or renew a license. Many want one issued recently, so it is usually ordered new for each file.

Questions.
How recent does the certificate need to be?
It depends on the receiving office. Many ask for one issued within the last few months, so we order a new certificate for your file.

Yes, for Missouri and Kansas companies.
Our company is registered in another state.
That state issues the certificate and the apostille. We handle other states for $190 standard.
