What this system does:
This system will allow you to print an official Certificate of Status from SDAT.
You can also choose to have a paper certificate and up to ten paper copies of the
same certificate mailed to you the next business day. You can also verify the authenticity
of a certificate using the "Verify Certificate" link in the left margin.
What is not available on this system:
Certificates of Status are not available for trade names, name reservations, sole
proprietorships, government entities and some other accounts.
What it costs to use this system:
The fee for the Internet Expedited Certificate is
$40.00.
This option allows you to print from your printer an official certificate and as
many copies as needed. But if you'd prefer, you can have the certificate mailed
to you by SDAT. The fee for the mailed expedited certificate is
$40.00
for the first copy and
$1.00
for each additional copy.
What you need to use the system:
1. The Department ID number issued by SDAT for a registered business entity.
2. A MasterCard or Visa credit card.
3. The Certificate of Status opens in a separate window. It is recommended that
you disable your browser's pop-up blocker before proceeding. After disabling
the pop-up blocker it may be necessary to refresh/reload your browser.
4. It is recommended that either Internet Explorer or Firefox be utilized to complete
a successful transaction.
How do you begin to use the system:
Enter the Department ID and click on "Continue". If you do not have the Department
ID number, click on "Find a Department ID #" in the left margin. First time users
should review the information under the Help option in the left column.
