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

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

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

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

Can I get a Minnesota Certificate of Good Standing for a MN Sole Proprietorship or MN DBA

If you own a Minnesota business and have not formed a Corporation, LLC, Partnership or other legal entity in the state of Minnesota, then you are a Sole Proprietor by default.  Nothing needs to be filed with the Minnesota 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 Minnesota 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 Minnesota Business).

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

How long is a Minnesota Certificate of Good Standing valid

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

MN Certificate of Existence for Foreign Qualification in state other than Minnesota

A Corporation or LLC that is registered in the state of Minnesota may require a Minnesota Good Standing Certificate (Minnesota Certificate of Existence) to qualify as a "Foreign Corporation" in a state other than Minnesota.  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 Minnesota is a "Foreign Corporation" in the state of Minnesota. 
Most states, including Minnesota, 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.
