A New York Certificate of Good Standing Request Form is a legal document issued by the New York Department of State. It certifies that a company is up-to-date on filing requirements, including taxes, and is in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. The Certificate of Good Standing is required for certain legal transactions, such as mergers or transfers of ownership. It is also required for certain professional activities, such as applying for professional licensure. There are two types of New York Certificate of Good Standing Request Forms: the Domestic Certificate of Good Standing Form and the Foreign Certificate of Good Standing Form. The Domestic Certificate of Good Standing Form is for domestic corporations and limited liability companies in New York. The Foreign Certificate of Good Standing Form is for foreign corporations and limited liability companies registered to do business in New York. Both forms require the submission of the company name, address, and entity ID number. The Foreign Certificate of Good Standing Form also requires the submission of the date of incorporation and the state of incorporation.
