Indiana Certificate of Existence (Certificate of Good Standing) FAQs
  • What is an Indiana Certificate of Existence?

    An Indiana Certificate of Existence (also known as a Certificate of Good Standing) is a state-issued document that confirms the active status of a business in the state of Indiana. It can also indicate whether or not the business has fulfilled certain Indiana “good standing” requirements, such as filing biennial reports and paying required fees. The Indiana Secretary of State’s office is responsible for issuing the Indiana Certificate of Existence.

    Other names for this document include “certificate of existence”, “certificate of authorization”, and “standing certificate”.

  • Is there a difference between an Indiana Certificate of Existence and an Indiana Certificate of Good Standing?
    An Indiana Certificate of Existence is the equivalent to an Indiana Certificate of Good Standing.
  • Why is “good standing” important for your Indiana business?
    Being in good standing allows a corporation, LLC, or other statutory entity in Indiana to maintain the rights and privileges of doing business as that statutory entity. Good standing certificates are required when expanding to other states and may be required for financing, business transactions, and licensing. The consequences of losing good standing can include fines, the inability to file a lawsuit, the inability to do business in other states, and the administrative dissolution of your business.
  • When do you need an Indiana Certificate of Existence?
    An Indiana Certificate of Existence is required when your business expands to another state (otherwise known as a foreign qualification) and needs to register in that state as a foreign corporation or LLC. In addition, lenders, investors, and vendors often require a Certificate of Existence (Good Standing) before doing business with a company. Depending on the type of business, you may need to submit a Certificate of Existence or Good Standing to obtain licensure. You may also need a Certificate of Existence for other business transactions, such as a merger or acquisition.
