Open official certificate service ↗North Dakota certificate fees and delivery
North Dakota certificates are ordered from FirstStop; the accessible current extract did not establish a universal certificate fee. Electronic delivery is faster than paper and confirms SOS status, not tax compliance.
Certified copies of filed documents
Certified-copy fees are document-specific in FirstStop; no universal 2026 flat-plus-page formula was exposed in the reviewed pages. Use the live order for certification, pages, and delivery.
North Dakota apostilles and authentication
North Dakota apostilles/authentications are handled by the Secretary of State; start at https://www.sos.nd.gov/notaries/apostille. Submit a certified record and destination-country information and verify current fee/timing.
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.
