An Alberta Certificate of Status is obtained from the Alberta government. It can sometimes be called a Certificate of Compliance or a Certificate of Good Standing. Any company incorporated in Canada can obtain a certificate of status for its jurisdiction. In Alberta they are called Certificate 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.

The Alberta Certificate of Status indicates whether the company is in good standing. This means that the Alberta company must have filed all of its corporate annual returns and has not been dissolved. You cannot find out whether the company has filed all of its tax returns. If the Alberta company has not done its appropriate filings the Alberta Certificate of Status will not be clear.

An Alberta Certificate of Good Standing will also show the proper of the name of the company, the Alberta Access Number assigned to the company upon incorporation and the date of incorporation in Alberta.

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.
