Florida Certificate of Status Apostille

A Florida Certificate of Status — also called a Certificate of Good Standing or Certificate of Existence — confirms that your Florida LLC or corporation is active and in good standing with the state. When used abroad, it must be apostilled by the Florida Secretary of State.

What Is a Florida Certificate of Status?

The Florida Division of Corporations issues a Certificate of Status confirming that a business entity is registered, active, and in compliance with Florida law. Foreign governments, banks, and business registries require this document to verify that your company is legitimate and in good standing.

How to Get It Apostilled

We obtain the Certificate of Status directly from the Florida Division of Corporations and then submit it to the Florida Secretary of State for apostille. The entire process typically takes 1–a timeline confirmed after document review. We can also coordinate certified translation if required by the destination country.

Common Uses

Apostilled Florida Certificates of Status are commonly needed to open a foreign bank account, register a branch or subsidiary abroad, enter into international contracts, apply for foreign business licenses, and comply with foreign regulatory requirements.

Prepare your documents with confidence

A certificate of status reports a registry fact as of its issue date. Confirm how recent the recipient requires it to be and whether it also needs formation documents or amendments.

Corporate files should identify the legal entity accurately and show who is authorized to act for it. A formation document, certificate of status and signed resolution serve different purposes. The foreign registry, bank or counterparty decides which records it accepts; authentication does not establish that an entity meets a foreign registration or licensing requirement.

Check that all pages, certification sheets and attachments are present. Keep the recipient’s written instructions and confirm where completed documents should be delivered. Timing is confirmed after document review and depends on preparation, the competent authority, translation and delivery.

Tell us the document, its issuer, destination country and intended use, and your deadline. We will review preparation, translation and delivery options before confirming an estimate and timing. Ask for instructions before mailing originals. Please mail with a tracking number.

Confirm the exact legal name, entity identifier, issuing jurisdiction and document date against the recipient’s checklist.

Obtain official certified registry documents when requested; separately prepare private resolutions or agreements in their accepted signing format.

Check signer authority, complete attachments, translation and whether current status evidence is needed.

Can an apostille register my company abroad?

No. The foreign registry or institution decides registration and acceptance. An apostille authenticates the relevant signature or certification on the prepared document.

What should I confirm before requesting an estimate?

Provide the document, issuer, destination, intended use, number of copies and deadline. Include the recipient’s checklist if available. This allows preparation, certification, translation and delivery to be reviewed before a cost estimate is confirmed.
