Get Good Standing

How fast can I get a Certificate of Good Standing?

Short answer

It depends on the state. Roughly a dozen states with instant online portals (Florida, Colorado, Texas, Ohio, Virginia, Minnesota, Idaho, Indiana, Wyoming, Kansas, Nebraska) deliver same-day. Most other states take 1 to 2 business days. A handful are slower (Arkansas can take 2 to 4 weeks), and several states sell expedited options that compress the timeline to 24 hours.

Turnaround is driven by how the state issues certificates, not by us. States with modern instant-issue portals are fastest; states that process requests in a queue take longer.

Same-day states (instant online portals)

Florida, Colorado, Texas, Ohio, Virginia, Minnesota, Idaho, Indiana, Wyoming, Kansas, and Nebraska maintain instant online issuance. Orders placed during business hours typically come back the same day.

Standard states (1 to 2 business days)

The majority of states process requests within one to two business days. This is the typical experience.

Slower states and expedite options

A few states are slower by default — Arkansas standard processing can run 2 to 4 weeks. Several states sell expedited handling: Delaware same-day, New York same-day, Pennsylvania same-day, Nevada 24-hour, Connecticut 24-hour, Maine 24-hour. Where the state offers an expedite tier, we surface it on the state’s page and at checkout.
