Can requests for certified copies or certificates be made over the telephone?
Yes. Certified copies and certificates can be ordered over the telephone if the documents will be picked-up at our office at 148 W. River Street, Providence, RI 02904-2615. Phone orders are completed within 48 hours from the time the order is placed and payment is required at the time of pickup. You will not receive a call from this office notifying you that your order for a good standing or letter or status is ready as it is automatically completed within the 48-hour period. We will, however, notify you by telephone as to the cost for certified copies when your order is completed. Documents certified by the Secretary of State as true and accurate copies of the records in this office shall be accepted as evidence in all courts in Rhode Island. Therefore, the custodian of records from this office does not have to appear in court. If you are unable to pick up the documents at our office, you may mail your request to the Business Section at 148 W. River Street, Providence, RI 02904-2615,
