A Maine Certificate of Resumption is a document that states that a company has resumed its normal operations following a period of inactivity. This document is issued by the Maine Department of Economic and Community Development (DEAD) and is required for businesses to register or renew their business registration. There are two types of Maine Certificates of Resumption: a Standard Certificate and an Expedited Certificate. The Standard Certificate is issued for a period of three years and requires the business to file an annual report with the DEAD. The Expedited Certificate is issued for a period of one year and does not require the business to file an annual report. Both certificates are issued upon providing the DEAD with the necessary documents, such as financial statements, insurance coverage, and other information. The certificates are also required for businesses to register for state and local taxes, as well as federal taxes.
