What is a Certificate of Status/Good Standing?
Certificates of status are available electronically and can be used to verify an entity is in good standing, has been issued a revocation certificate, or has been voluntarily dissolved, canceled, or withdrawn.
A certificate of status can also be obtained to verify a non-resident landlord has registered with this office.
Things to know before you order
