Open official certificate service ↗Michigan certificate fees and delivery
Michigan's business roadmap states the Corporations Division fee for a Certificate of Good Standing is $10.00. MiBRP can provide electronic document delivery when available; paper requests take longer. The certificate reflects LARA status and does not certify Michigan Treasury tax compliance.
Certified copies of filed documents
Michigan's business roadmap states certified copies start at $16.00 and uncertified copies can be downloaded free. The exact certified-copy amount depends on the document and current request form; any page, rush, or delivery charges should be verified in MiBRP. Do not confuse a certified copy with the $10.00 good-standing certificate.
Michigan apostilles and authentication
Michigan apostilles and authentications are handled through the Department of State or appropriate authentication office after obtaining a certified LARA record; start at https://www.michigan.gov/sos/services/apostille. Submit the certified document, destination-country information, and current fee/delivery request. The reviewed LARA pages did not establish one universal 2026 entity-document apostille price or turnaround.
Which document should you order?
- Proof of current registry standing
- Ask for the state’s certificate of status, existence, or good standing. It is different from a public search result and may not establish tax clearance.
- Proof of what was filed
- Order a certified copy of the specific formation document, amendment, or other filing requested.
- A document for use abroad
- Ask the receiving authority whether it requires an apostille or another form of authentication, and whether it accepts electronic documents.
Check the record before ordering
Confirm the legal name, entity number, and recipient’s required issue date. A missed report or other delinquency may need to be resolved before a certificate can be issued.
