Massachusetts Report on Filing or Determination is a report issued by the Secretary of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, which provides information on the status of any entity that has filed with the state. The report can include information about whether the entity has been approved to do business in the state, the date of filing, the effective date of any filing, and any other information the state deems necessary. There are two types of Massachusetts Report on Filing or Determination: Certificate of Authority and Certificate of Good Standing. The Certificate of Authority is issued to an entity that has been approved to do business in the state, while the Certificate of Good Standing confirms that the entity is in compliance with state laws and regulations.
