Statement and Designation by Foreign Corporation

Certificate of Good Standing
You will need to obtain a Certificate of Good Standing and submit that with the Statement and Designation by Foreign Corporation form. It must be issued from the state your corporation was formed in and dated within 6 months. A Certificate of Good Standing is also commonly known as a Certificate of Existence, Certificate of Status, etc.

All entities formed in California will require a Registered Agent for Service or Process to accept legal documents on your behalf. The agent must be from California and must list a physical California address. Please click here for more information on how you can list our company as your registered agent.
