How does an out-of-state corporation obtain a certificate of authority and is there a fee?
A single-page Application for Certificate of Authority is filed along with an original certificate of existence (good standing) from the home state. The certificate of existence must be no more than 90 days old. The filing fee is $225. The corporation will then file an annual registration, and $30 fee, between January 1 and April 1. Annual registration notices are mailed to the principal office addresses of all active corporations each January.
