It is also known as a Certificate of Good Standing or a Certificate of Existence. The Certificate of Status is a confirmation of a business entity’s active status and can be used to prove current existence when filing documents with other state agencies and when applying for loans or other forms of credit. The Certified Copy Request is a request for an official, certified copy of the Certificate of Status that can be used as a legal document. There are two types of Wisconsin Certificate of Status And Certified Copy Requests: 1) Standard Certificate of Status Request, which is issued for most business entities, and 2) Non-Standard Certificate of Status Request, which is issued for certain entities such as Limited Liability Companies or Professional Service Corporations.
