What is a New Jersey Short Form Standing?
A Short Form Standing Certificate is a certified document from the New Jersey Department of the Treasury (Division of Revenue and Enterprise Services).
It attests that a business entity is validly formed and is authorized to do business in New Jersey and that necessary filings (like annual reports and taxes) are up to date.
The short form contains basic information only, such as the entity’s name, business ID, and current status, unlike long-form certificates, which may also show officers, directors, or detailed filing history.
What It’s Used For
A Short Form Standing Certificate is commonly used when another party needs proof of a business’s legal existence and good standing with New Jersey. Typical uses include:
Business transactions (e.g., contracts, financing, mergers)
Licensing or registrations with other agencies
Verification for government or regulatory purposes
Nonprofit status validation for certain programs that require proof of standing.

▶️ If the destination country is a member of the Hague Convention of 1961, it needs to get an Apostille certificate. Once the apostille is completed, it is ready for use.
▶️ However, if the destination country is NOT a member of the Hague Convention of 1961, more steps are needed. Specifically, the document needs to be authenticated by the state office, the U.S. Department of State, and the embassy of that destination country which is located in Washington D.C, or other consulates if jurisdiction applies.
