North Carolina Business Filing Services, LLC has mailed out forms so that businesses can order a NC Secretary of State 2014 Certificate of Existence at a cost of $59.99. This is a scam. Businesses are not required
to order a Certificate of Existence as a step in the formation process.
See below for more information about Certificates of Existence. This
company is using public information on the records of the Secretary of
State's office to solicit North Carolina businesses.
If
you have received this solicitation or have already sent the company
money, please e-mail or fax a copy to the NC Secretary of State's Office
at the contact numbers below. The NC Secretary of State's office
together with the Attorney General's Office is taking the steps necessary to protect businesses.

You
can order a Certificate of Existence directly from the Secretary of
State's Office for $15 or less. A Certificate of Existence is a
certificate issued by the Secretary of State setting out particulars of
the organization and status of business entity. The certificate may be
relied upon by any person as conclusive evidence that the domestic or
foreign corporation is in existence or is authorized to transact
business in North Carolina. Certificates of Existence can be ordered from the Secretary of State's Office in paper or electronic form.
If
you want to order an electronic certificate online, you will need to
create an account to track your orders and search the entity by name.
