What is a North Carolina Good Standing Certificate (North Carolina Certificate of Existence)

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

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

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

Can I get a North Carolina Certificate of Good Standing for a NC Sole Proprietorship or NC DBA

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

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

NC Certificate of Existence for Foreign Qualification in state other than North Carolina

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