Open official certificate service ↗Virginia certificate fees and delivery
Virginia certificates of good standing/status are ordered through CIS and use the current SCC certificate fee schedule; the reviewed pages did not expose one universal 2026 amount in the extract. Electronic CIS delivery is generally faster, and the certificate does not prove tax clearance.
Certified copies of filed documents
Virginia certified-copy charges depend on the requested document and SCC route; the reviewed public pages did not expose one universal flat-plus-page formula. Order through CIS and confirm certification, page, delivery, and any expedited charges before payment.
Virginia apostilles and authentication
Virginia apostille/authentication requests begin at https://www.scc.virginia.gov/businesses/apostilles/. Submit an eligible certified Virginia record, destination-country information, payment, and current mail/in-person instructions; verify fee and turnaround on the live SCC page.
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.
