Printing a Certificate of Good Standing

Companies may print a Certificate of Good Standing via this website and pay for the certificate with Visa, MasterCard, or American Express. The certificate will print on whatever type of paper that you use in your work or home printer. The quality of the certificate will depend upon the quality of your printer and the type of paper that you use. Certificates printed at the Division will still be printed on parchment paper.

The on-line version of the Certificate includes a unique identifying number which can be used to obtain another copy of the certificate at a later date.

To access a Certificate, you must first inquire on a specific entity registered with the Division. If you know the file number used internally by the Corporations Division to uniquely identify each business entity, you may enter it on the STARPAS Main Menu.

To search for a business entity by name, follow these instructions:

  • From the Corporations Division Home Page, click on the Business Entity Search.
  • Type in the name of the company for which you want a Certificate of Good Standing, then click on the Search button.
  • Double click on the company name to inquire on the company.
  • Click the “Check Corporate Status” button in the upper right-hand corner.
  • The next screen will notify you whether the company is in good standing.
  • Follow all instructions to purchase and print a Certificate.

All Regular filing fees, Expedite and Electronic filing fees are NON REFUNDABLE pursuant to A.R.S §§10-122, 10-2020, 10-2079, 10-2145, 10-3122 & §29-851. Expedite fees (or any other filing fees) paid for a filing cannot be re-applied to any other subsequent filing.

A special note to organizations that rely on Certificates of Good Standing from the Division:

Certificates printed from our website will be identical in wording and format to the ones that we currently provide. However, they will include a unique identification number (order number) under the signature of the Executive Director. Should you ever doubt the validity of an on-line certificate, you can visit our website, view the entity in question and provide the validation number indicated on the certificate to assure that the certificate is legitimate. Certificates printed by our Division will be on tan-colored parchment paper and include two signatures: The Executive Director of the Corporation Commission and the Division employee printing the Certificate.

To check on the validity of a Certificate, follow these instructions:

  • From the Corporations Division Home Page, click on the Business Entity Search.
  • Type in the name of the company for which you would like to verify a Certificate, and click on the Search button.
  • Double click on the company name to inquire on the company.
  • Click the “Check Corporate Status” button in the upper right-hand corner.
  • Scroll down to the “Instructions for Re-Printing Certificates” section.
  • Type the order number found at the bottom of the original certificate into the box above the “Re-print Certificate” button.
  • If the Certificate for the company appears on your computer screen, then the Certificate is authentic.
