Does a Certificate of Good Standing Expire? Not every Certificate of Good Standing or its equivalent has an expiration date. If there is an expiration date it can range anywhere from less than 30 days to a year. Depending on the situation, the requesting party may reject certificates that were issued too long ago.
Failing to do so means your entity may be “Not in Good Standing,” which eventually leads to forfeiture. A forfeited entity may not legally conduct business in the state.
