Comprehensive Document Retrieval for Corporations and LLCs

We retrieve thousands of legal documents every month. Some of the most requested include:

Certificate of good standing

Also known as a Certificate of Status, Certificate of Authorization, or Certificate of Existence, this document confirms a business is legally registered and in good standing with its home state.

Common use cases:

  • Foreign qualification filings in other states
  • Opening a business bank account
  • Securing a business license or government contract
  • Mergers, acquisitions, and investor due diligence

Available from domestic or foreign states for corporations, LLCs, and nonprofits.

Charter documents (e.g., Articles of incorporation)

These corporate charter documents, such as Articles of Incorporation or Articles of Organization, formally establish a business entity.

Options available:

  • Plain copy or certified copy (state-sealed)
  • Retrieved documents filed with the Secretary of State
  • Used in financial transactions, ownership transfers, or licensing processes

Required for many business activities, including registering in a new state or proving legal existence.

Tax clearance certificate

A clearance certification issued by a state’s Department of Revenue confirming a business has satisfied its tax obligations.

You may need to obtain a tax clearance when:

  • Dissolving or withdrawing a corporation

Some states require clearance before approving other filings. RASi manages the full request and follow-up process for you.
