What is a "Good Standing Certificate", and how can I acquire one?
Good Standing Certificates are documents provided by the state to prove a company is up to date on their state taxes. They are very useful for, among other reasons, when a company is about to be sold, and a potential buyer demands proof that the organization is not behind on state taxes.

How do I tell the difference between a check and a wire transfer?
Wire transfer numbers begin with 500, all others are paper checks.
-
What should I put in the "All Departments" line?
This line should be left alone unless you want to request information for a payment from a specific state agency.
-
When can I expect to receive my payment?
Documents that are listed in the "Unpaid Document List" must first reach the status of “Approved for Payment.” Once the document is approved, it will be paid on the due date, or immediately if the due date has passed.
