Indiana certificate fees and delivery

Indiana calls the document a Certificate of Existence. INBiz's current enhanced-access analysis identifies an $11.00 online enhanced-access component, but the total certificate price and any paper route charge must be confirmed on the live order screen. Online certificates can be downloaded or printed after issuance; mailed requests take longer. The certificate reflects SOS status, not tax clearance.

Certified copies of filed documents

Indiana provides certified copies and business-document requests through INBiz and Business Services. The reviewed 2026 public extract identifies transaction-specific enhanced-access charges but not a universal flat-plus-per-page certified-copy formula. The order screen should distinguish plain copies, certified copies, and authentication and show the exact total before payment.

Indiana apostilles and authentication

Indiana Secretary of State Business Services handles apostilles and authentications; contact information and the division entry are at https://www.in.gov/sos/business/contact-us/. Submit the certified Indiana record, destination-country information, and the current authentication request and fee. The reviewed official pages did not establish a universal 2026 entity-document fee or turnaround, so verify the current instructions before mailing or appearing in person.

Which document should you order?

Proof of current registry standing
Ask for the state’s certificate of status, existence, or good standing. It is different from a public search result and may not establish tax clearance.
Proof of what was filed
Order a certified copy of the specific formation document, amendment, or other filing requested.
A document for use abroad
Ask the receiving authority whether it requires an apostille or another form of authentication, and whether it accepts electronic documents.

Check the record before ordering

Confirm the legal name, entity number, and recipient’s required issue date. A missed report or other delinquency may need to be resolved before a certificate can be issued.
