A Nebraska Certificate of Good Standing is a document issued by the Nebraska Secretary of State that officially states that a business entity is in compliance with the state's statutes and regulations. It is also known as a Certificate of Existence or Certificate of Authorization. The Certificate of Good Standing is used to demonstrate that a business entity is authorized to conduct business in the state of Nebraska and is not in violation of any applicable laws or regulations. There are two types of Nebraska Certificates of Good Standing: General Certificate of Good Standing and Tax Clearance Certificate of Good Standing. The General Certificate of Good Standing confirms that the business entity is in good standing with the Secretary of State, is up-to-date on all filing requirements, and has no outstanding annual reports or franchise taxes due. The Tax Clearance Certificate of Good Standing verifies that the business entity is up-to-date on all state income taxes and has paid any taxes or fees due.
