Certified Copy

Overview

A certified copy is an official copy of state-filed documents. Business owners may encounter situations where a Certified Copy of their incorporation or qualification documents, are needed. Registered Agents of Wyoming, LLC can facilitate obtaining certified copies of any of your state documents.

Additionally, should original certified copies of important documents be misplaced, or lost, requesting a certified copy provides you with another true copy of your state-filed documents to keep with your company records.

Key benefits

There is no limit placed by the state of Wyoming on when a business owner can request a certified copy of state issued documents. Whether you recently formed your company or have a business with a long history, you can obtain a certified copy of your formation documents.

Why is a certified copy important?

A certified copy is a true, exact copy of your company’s formation or other state-filed documents, as issued by the state and could be used for the following purposes:

• Open a business bank account

  A certified copy of your company’s formation documents is often needed in order to open a business bank account.

• Replace a lost or misplaced original

  It's critical to keep the original of your formation documents or any other state-filed document with your company records. If the originals are ever lost or misplaced, be sure to request a certified copy from the state of formation.

• Provide proof of authenticity

  Having a certified copy of state filed documents serves as proof of authenticity for your business.

• Certificate of Authority or foreign qualification

  A certified copy of a Certificate of Good Standing is typically required in order to register your company to transact business in another state (foreign qualify/Certificate of Authority).
