North Carolina Certificate of Authority/About
About North Carolina Certificate of Authority
North Carolina Certificate of Authority deals in one kind of paperwork: the certificate of authority and its sister registrations that North Carolina requires from LLCs, corporations, nonprofits and partnerships formed elsewhere.
How an order runs
The order form gathers the company's details a single time. After that we request the home-state certificate, complete Form L-09 or the form for the entity type, line up the registered agent (which can be us), send the package to Raleigh and pass the issued certificate back to you. Partnership, nonprofit and withdrawal orders start with an email.
Where we draw the line
Tax advice, a verdict on whether a given activity is transacting business, and registrations with other North Carolina agencies are outside what we do. A North Carolina attorney and your accountant are the right people for them.
