Vermont certificates of existence or authorization cost $35 for LLCs and $25 for corporations. Order through the online business portal or Corporations Division; electronic delivery is generally faster and the certificate establishes registry status, not tax clearance.
Certified copies of filed documents
Vermont charges $25 to certify a copy of any filed LLC or corporation document. The statutes reviewed do not state an additional universal per-page charge; confirm copying, delivery, and electronic transaction costs for the requested record.
Vermont apostilles and authentication
Vermont apostille/authentication requests begin at https://sos.vermont.gov/secretary-of-state-services/apostilles-authentications/. Submit a certified Vermont record and destination-country details, then verify current fee, address, and processing time with the Secretary's authentication office.
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.
