Effective May 19, the Secretary of State will no longer issue a Certificate of Filing for a single business entity filing. Instead, the request must be made for a Certificate of Filing of All Documents, which is currently known as a Certificate of Listing. Alternatively, a certified copy can be requested for a single filing. The new Certificate of Filing of All Documents will list in chronological order from oldest to newest, all filings currently on record with the Secretary of State’s office for the business entity. The fee is based on the number of documents listed and is $5.00 per document listed. View the state’s announcement at the link below.
