Good Standing Certificate Apostille & Legalization
Good Standing Certificate
Digital / Online
Prove your corporate health—fast. A Certificate of Good Standing (also known as a Certificate of Existence or Certificate of Status) is required by foreign banks, government agencies, and legal firms to confirm your U.S. company is active and in compliance with state laws. To use this proof abroad, it must be officially apostilled.
At US Apostille, we provide a high-speed authentication bridge for Good Standing Certificates from all 50 U.S. States. We ensure your compliance documents are processed through our Maryland hub in just one business day.
Digital Submissions (PDF) Now Accepted
In many cases, you don't need to mail us anything. If your state issues digital certificates, we can start the Apostille process immediately.
1. Digital (PDF) Submission - The Fastest Way:
We accept Electronic Certified Copies (PDFs) that include a Verification Code, Validation ID, or QR Code.
States like Delaware, Wyoming, Florida, and California issue these electronically.
How to proceed: Simply upload the original PDF file downloaded directly from the Secretary of State’s website to our portal. We verify it and secure your Apostille in one business day.
2. Physical Submission:
If your state only issues certificates on physical security paper with an embossed/raised seal.
If you are submitting the document to a Non-Hague country (e.g., UAE, China, Kuwait) that requires a physical "wet-ink" document for Embassy Legalization.
In these cases, you will need to mail the physical certified copy to our office.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. While the terminology varies by state (e.g., Certificate of Status in Florida or Certificate of Existence in Pennsylvania), they all serve the same legal purpose and are processed exactly the same way.
No. A scan is not a "Digital Original." To use our digital submission, you must upload the original PDF file issued by the Secretary of State, which contains the necessary digital security features for verification.
We cannot apostille a certificate for a company that is Dissolved, Forfeited, or Inactive. You must first reinstate your company with the Secretary of State before we can process the Apostille.
No. For countries like the UAE, Saudi Arabia, or Qatar, you will need Embassy Legalization. We handle the entire chain, including the U.S. Department of State and the destination Embassy in Washington D.C.
If it's a valid digital PDF, you can upload it here. If it's a physical document, please mail it via a tracked service (FedEx/DHL) to our Maryland office.
