Registering Your Company as Foreign Entity in Florida

If your company is registered outside of Florida it is required to obtain a certificate of authority before transacting business in the state.

This process is called "Foreign Qualification", and it involves filing Application for Authorization to Transact Business in Florida with the Florida Secretary of State.

To approve foreign qualification application Florida Secretary of State requires certificate of good standing or its equivalent from the home state. The certificate must be current within 90 days. Keep in mind, foreign entity is required to appoint and maintain a registered agent in Florida on file at all times in order to be in good standing.

The filing process with Florida Secretary of State could take about 5 business days plus mailing. Applicants should also allow additional time for obtaining the certificate of good standing from their home state.

There were some events that occurred in my life that complicated my incorporation proceedings mid stream. I was able to talk to an extremely helpful representative over the phone.

Thank you for your quick turn-around on the document filing for Your Real Estate Solutions LLC! We received our EIN within a couple of hours after the request and our company was formed and registered with the state of Utah within 2-days. The "Corporate Kit" containing all of our necessary documents, stamp and required procedures was received in the office about a week later, nicely bound. Thank you again for your quick and efficient service!!
