Open official certificate service ↗Texas certificate fees and delivery
Texas certificates of fact/status are ordered through SOSDirect or the Corporations Section; the current fee is document-specific in Form 807/fee schedule and credit-card convenience charges may apply. Electronic ordering is generally fastest, and status evidence is distinct from Comptroller tax clearance.
Certified copies of filed documents
Texas certified copies and certificates use the current SOS fee schedule and document-request route; the reviewed extract did not expose one universal flat-plus-page formula. Request the exact instrument and confirm certification, page, delivery, and SOSDirect charges before payment.
Texas apostilles and authentication
Texas apostille/authentication requests begin at https://www.sos.state.tx.us/authinfo.shtml. Submit a qualifying certified Texas public record, destination-country information, payment, and the Austin mail/in-person instructions; verify the current fee and processing time because expedited service and delivery route affect 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.
