Open official certificate service ↗New York certificate fees and delivery
New York certificates of status/good standing are ordered through the Department of State; fees depend on entity type and service. Electronic ordering can provide faster delivery, while paper requests take longer. A DOS certificate is not a New York tax-clearance certificate.
Certified copies of filed documents
New York certified copies and certificates use document-specific Department of State fees; the reviewed schedule did not establish one universal flat-plus-per-page formula. Order through the Corporation and Business Entity document service and confirm certification, pages, expedited handling, and delivery.
New York apostilles and authentication
New York apostilles/authentications are handled by the Department of State Division of Licensing Services; start at https://dos.ny.gov/apostille-or-certificate-authentication. Submit a certified New York record and destination-country information. Confirm the current fee, Albany or New York City address, appointment/mail rules, and turnaround in the live instructions.
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.
