What is a Massachusetts Good Standing Certificate (Massachusetts Certificate of Existence)

A Massachusetts Good Standing Certificate (Massachusetts Certificate of Existence) is issued by the Massachusetts Secretary of State and is often required for loans, to renew business licenses, or for tax or other business purposes in the state of Massachusetts or in any other state.  A Massachusetts Certificate of Good Standing is evidence that your Massachusetts business franchise - your Massachusetts Corporation or Massachusetts LLC - is in Existence, is authorized to transact business in the state of Massachusetts, and complies with all state of Massachusetts requirements and therefore is in "Good Standing" in the state of Massachusetts (MA). 

Also known as a Massachusetts Certificate of Existence, a Massachusetts Certificate of Status or a Massachusetts Certificate of Authority, the Massachusetts Good Standing Certificate is a one page document which looks like a letter and bears the seal of the state of Massachusetts Secretary of State or another Massachusetts state agency if the Massachusetts Secretary of State is not the issuing authority.  A Massachusetts Good Standing Certificate is provided by the Massachusetts Secretary of State and is conclusive evidence of the existence of your Massachusetts business franchise - your Massachusetts Corporation or Massachusetts LLC.  In most cases a Massachusetts Certificate of Good Standing can be valid up to three months.

To obtain a Massachusetts Good Standing Certificate (Massachusetts Certificate of Existence), your company must be registered as a legal entity with the Massachusetts Secretary of State, i.e., your company is in existence in the state of Massachusetts, and cannot be in default of Massachusetts corporate rules, or suspended by the state of Massachusetts.

Can I get a Massachusetts Certificate of Good Standing for a MA Sole Proprietorship or MA DBA

If you own a Massachusetts business and have not formed a Corporation, LLC, Partnership or other legal entity in the state of Massachusetts, then you are a Sole Proprietor by default.  Nothing needs to be filed with the Massachusetts Secretary of State to create a Sole Proprietorship.  If you plan to use a name different from your first and last name then you would register in the Massachusetts county in which you do business with your first and last name "Doing Business As" (DBA) the name of your business (for example: Sue Smith, DBA Sue's Massachusetts Business).

A Massachusetts Good Standing Certificate (Massachusetts Certificate of Existence) is issued by the Massachusetts Secretary of State for business entities that have registered with the state of Massachusetts.  A Sole Proprietorship or DBA is not normally registered with the Massachusetts Secretary of State so a Massachusetts Certificate of Good Standing cannot be issued for them.

How long is a Massachusetts Certificate of Good Standing valid

A valid exipration date is not written on a Massachusetts Good Standing Certificate (Massachusetts Certificate of Existence).  The validity of a Massachusetts Certificate of Good Standing is usually determined by the intended recipient of the Massachusetts Good Standing Certificate.  Some institutions may request that a Massachusetts Good Standing Certificate be less than a certain number of days old.  Generally the information included on a Massachusetts Certificate of Good Standing is implied to be valid for 60-90 days.

MA Certificate of Existence for Foreign Qualification in state other than Massachusetts

A Corporation or LLC that is registered in the state of Massachusetts may require a Massachusetts Good Standing Certificate (Massachusetts Certificate of Existence) to qualify as a "Foreign Corporation" in a state other than Massachusetts.  A Foreign Corporation is a Corporation that is registered with a state agency, usually the Secretary of State, in one state and has the Authority to do business in another state.  For example, a Corporation registered in the state of California that plans to do business in the state of Massachusetts is a "Foreign Corporation" in the state of Massachusetts. 
Most states, including Massachusetts, require you to register as a Foreign Corporation with a state agency, usually the Secretary of State, in order to do business in their state.  In order to register as a Foreign Corporation in any state you must provide evidence that you are registered and are in Good Standing in another state as a Domestic Corporation or LLC.  This evidence is a Certificate of Good Standing (Certificate of Existence/Certificate of Authority) from the state in which your Corporation or LLC was originally formed.
