The North Dakota Certificate of Authority Foreign Cooperative Application is a form used to apply for a Certificate of Authority to conduct business in the state of North Dakota. This Certificate of Authority is necessary in order to form a cooperative under the North Dakota Century Code (DCC) Chapter 10-19. The types of North Dakota Certificate of Authority Foreign Cooperative Applications include the Nonprofit Cooperative Application and the Business Cooperative Application. The Nonprofit Cooperative Application is used to form a cooperative to provide services to its members, while the Business Cooperative Application is used to form a cooperative to produce and market products and services. Both applications require information such as the name of the cooperative, the address of the cooperative, a list of its members, and details of the cooperative's activities. With the appropriate supporting documentation, the North Dakota Certificate of Authority Foreign Cooperative Application can be submitted to the North Dakota Secretary of State for review and approval.
