Can I get a Certified Copy of a Utah Good Standing Certificate?
explain
The Utah Department of Commerce
issues a Good Standing Certificate ,called a Certificate of Existence in UT, to Utah
Corporations and LLCs which are up to date with all administrative requirements.
The Utah Department of Commerce will Certify any Business Document which has been
filed with that office.
On the other hand, the Utah Department of Commerce generally does not Certify Documents which are
issued by that office.
So, no the Utah Department of Commerce will not Certify a Good Standing Certificate or any other document which is
issued by
that office.
