The Basics

What Is a Certificate of Good Standing?

A Certificate of Good Standing is an official document issued by the State of Delaware confirming that your Delaware LLC or corporation is active and compliant with state requirements. In plain terms, it proves your company exists in Delaware and is up to date on key obligations such as filings and state fees.

It’s commonly used for business banking, financing, contracts, onboarding with vendors or platforms, and investor due diligence. It’s also frequently required if you plan to register your Delaware company in another state (foreign qualification). Having an updated certificate ready helps you avoid delays when timing matters.

It confirms your Delaware LLC or corporation is active and compliant with state requirements.
02When do I need a Good Standing certificate?
It’s commonly needed for banking, financing, contracts, investor requests, or registering in another state.
03How long does it take to receive the certificate?
That depends on the State’s queue, so we don’t promise a fixed turnaround. We place the order as soon as we have your company details and deliver the certificate as soon as Delaware issues it. Expedited options may be available if you need it faster.
04What information do you need to order it?
We typically need your Delaware entity name (and file number if available) to locate your record accurately.
05How long is a Certificate of Good Standing considered current?
Most banks, investors, and authorities treat it as current for 30–90 days from its issue date, so it’s best requested when you actually need it.
06What if my company is not in good standing?
You may need to resolve state issues first (such as unpaid fees or missing filings) before the certificate can be issued. If your company was voided, our Revival / Reinstatement service can restore it to good standing — we’ll help you identify the next steps.
