Registering Your Company as Foreign Entity in Pennsylvania

If your company is registered outside of Pennsylvania 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 Certificate of Authority and the Docketing Statement with the Pennsylvania Department of State.

To approve foreign qualification application Pennsylvania Department of State does not require any documents from the home state. Keep in mind, foreign entity is required to appoint and maintain a registered agent in Pennsylvania on file at all times in order to be in good standing.

The filing process with Pennsylvania Department of State could take about 5-7 business days, plus additional time for mailing.

REMEMBER: Pennsylvania requires every domestic or foreign corporation (but not LLC) to publish a legal notice of its formation. Learn more about Pennsylvania publication requirements here.

Thanks guys, you did a great job helping me to open my photography business, I really didn't know where to start where to go - you did it all for me. How cool is that? It was an easy and clear process of creating a request to open a company, every step was described, so I didn't have to google each term. The price is good, the service is excellent. I really recommend everyone to let myusacorporation.com open a business for them. I didn't spend time on surfing the net finding the right form to fill and send somewhere. You did it for me, while I was doing things I love - taking pictures. More than that, you have so much valuable information on your site about everything I need for my business, like virtual phone number, business cards etc. I don't need to do any research - it's all there: comparison of a leading companies, reviews, pros and cons. Really helpful and saves tons of time.
