Iowa Cancellation of Certificate of Authority [488.907] is a process that is used when a business entity registered with the Iowa Secretary of State's office wishes to dissolve or withdraw from the state. It entails filing a Certificate of Cancellation with the Secretary of State's office, which officially cancels the entity's Certificate of Authority in Iowa. There are two types of Iowa Cancellation of Certificate of Authority [488.907], depending on the type of entity: foreign entities (those registered in another state or country) and domestic entities (those registered in Iowa). The process of filling out and submitting the Certificate of Cancellation is the same for both types of entities. Additionally, all entities must submit a Certificate of Dissolution or Certificate of Withdrawal (depending on the type of entity) to the Secretary of State's office.
