Mailing of Certifications of Name Registration: All documents are mailed standard USPS unless preaddressed envelopes with special postage or overnight courier envelopes are included with the request.

Status of Request: If a status of the request is needed, please go to www.sos.alabama.gov and click on the Government Records tab. Under that tab, there is a link for Business Entity Records, select it. The screen that appears will offer a variety of ways to search. Click on the Entity Name search - that screen will list the "filings completed through" date to show the date through which processing has been completed. If you do not have evidence of receipt (courier or registered mail) and the request was sent prior to "through date," (allowing for mailing time round trip) we have to assume that the request never got into the office the only way to obtain a receipt is through registered mail or courier service. If there is an issue about the status of a request, email the details and a copy of the receipt of delivery to business.services@sos.alabama.gov and a supervisor will research the problem and respond in the order in which the email was received. Please do not call the office or come in with a question about status as research time is required and every call slows processing procedures. If processing time is an issue the Online Service is the fastest method of processing available. Duplicate Name Certificate 5/2012 Page 3 of 3 American LegalNet, Inc. www.FormsWorkFlow.com
