Open official certificate service ↗Montana certificate fees and delivery
Montana certificates of existence or good standing are ordered from the entity record; the reviewed fee extract did not expose a universal 2026 price. Electronic delivery is faster when available, while paper takes longer. The certificate confirms SOS status, not tax compliance.
Certified copies of filed documents
Montana certified-copy charges are document-specific in the Business Filing Fees schedule; the accessible extract did not establish one universal flat-plus-per-page amount. Use the live order screen for the exact document, certification, pages, and delivery.
Montana apostilles and authentication
Montana apostilles/authentications are handled by the Secretary of State's Notary and Authentication services; start at https://sosmt.gov/notary/apostille. Submit a certified Montana record and destination-country information. The reviewed business pages did not establish one universal 2026 apostille fee 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.
