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

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

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

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

Can I get a Virginia Certificate of Good Standing for a VA Sole Proprietorship or VA DBA

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

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

How long is a Virginia Certificate of Good Standing valid

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

VA Certificate of Existence for Foreign Qualification in state other than Virginia

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