About this service
Pennsylvania Certificate of Authority prepares the filing that lets an entity formed elsewhere operate in Pennsylvania, and keeps the yearly dates in front of its owners.
What an order includes
A short questionnaire about the entity, a drafted Foreign Registration Statement and docketing statement, a test of the name against the rules for your type of entity, the registered office entry, and the submission.
What to ask someone else
Tax questions, disputes, and the matter of when your entity first crossed into doing business all belong with a Pennsylvania lawyer or accountant.
