Certified copies are true and correct copies of business filings, which can be obtained from the office where you filed the documents. Each state has different departments or offices to process the certified copy request.


Here are some examples of certified copies of business entity documents that you may want to have on hand:


  • Articles of Incorporation or Articles of Formation

Apostille and Authentication of Certified Copies


In case your business documents are requested by foreign countries, a certification process must be completed after obtaining your certified copies. There are two types of certificates: Apostille and Authentication.


Apostilles are issued to documents intended for use in Hague Apostille Countries. Certificates of Authentication are issued to countries that are not Hague Apostille Countries.
