Certificate Of Status And Certified Copy Request {SP48-SP50}

FORM 48 - CERTIFICATE OF STATUS and CERTIFIED COPYWORK. This form is issued by the Wisconsin Department of Financial Institutions and used to request official documents related to business entities registered in the state. Section A of the form allows individuals to order a Certificate of Status, which verifies whether a business is in good standing with the state or confirms that no record exists for a specific name. Requesters can choose options such as notarization for international use, inclusion of name changes, or a long-form version listing all charter documents. Section B is used to order certified copies of filed corporate records, including Articles of Incorporation, annual reports, and all charter documents on file. Fees vary depending on the documents requested, and expedited service is available for an additional charge. This form is commonly used by businesses, attorneys, or individuals needing official verification of a business’s legal status or history for legal, financial, or regulatory purposes. All fees are non-refundable, and careful attention must be paid to ensure accurate information is submitted. Completed forms must be mailed to the department with payment, or expedited options may be used for faster service. Sec. 182.01, Wis. Stats. www.FormsWorkflow.com
