The Alberta government issues Alberta Certificates of Status. These certificates can also be referred to as Alberta Certificates of Compliance or Alberta Certificates of Good Standing. In Alberta they are called Certificates of Status.
Basically an Alberta Certificate of Status is required when you need to provide someone or some other company with the assurance that your Alberta company is in good standing.
Being in good standing means that the company is still active and has not been dissolved for non-filing of federal and/or provincial tax returns or non-filing of the Alberta annual returns. The Alberta Corporate Registry sends out the Alberta annual return to the registered office address for the company each year and if the address is not correct then it is possible that the Alberta company could be in default of filing if it does not receive and file the return.
The Certificate of Status for an Alberta company will provide the accurate current name of the Alberta company, the Alberta corporate number and its status.
If the Alberta company has not filed its Alberta annual returns the Alberta Certificate of Status will not be cleared. It is best to know in advance that all of your filings have been done because the Alberta Certificate of Status will be issued regardless and it will say the company is not in good standing. If your company has not filed its tax returns for awhile then the Alberta Corporate Registry might dissolve your company and then you would not get a favourable Alberta Certificate of Status. It is important to try and ensure your company is in good standing before you order the certificate.
A Certificate of Status is not an Alberta corporate search. If you are trying to determine information about an Alberta company you should have an Alberta corporate search done rather than ordering a Certificate of Status.
