Obtaining Certified Copy of Articles
in North Carolina
There are several situations when a company may need a certified copy of its formation documents. For example, some banks require a certified copy of Articles of Incorporation or Organization to open a business account. Likewise, some states want to see these certified documents (including all other filings such as amendments etc.) before allowing a company to do business in that state as a "foreign entity" (process called foreign qualification).
Companies that intend to expand abroad need to obtain certified copy of company documents in order to additionally certify it for foreign use (either with Apostille or Embassy Certification).
