About Georgia Certificate of Authority
Georgia Certificate of Authority assembles and files applications for Georgia certificates of authority on behalf of corporations, LLCs and partnerships formed in other states.
What we do
Our work runs in sequence: pick the application that suits your entity, gather the supporting papers, request the home-state certificate if the entity type needs one, enter the agent (our office is available for that), lodge everything with the Corporations Division, and hand you the certificate along with your annual registration dates.
Limits of our service
Whether your activity amounts to transacting business, how to treat a late start date and any dealings with the Division are matters for an attorney admitted in Georgia.
After the certificate
A certificate of authority stays valid while the annual registration is filed between January 1 and April 1 each year. We mark that window when we hand you the certificate. An entity that later stops working in Georgia withdraws on Form CD 555, which the withdrawal page covers.

Contact details are listed on our contact page.
Our filing fee, then the Georgia fee
Checkout lists what we charge and what Georgia charges on separate lines. $199 plus the state fee, including your first year of registered agent service; after that the agent service renews at $149 a year.
