What is a Georgia certificate of authority?
Companies are required to register with the Georgia Secretary of State before doing business in Georgia. Businesses that are incorporated in another state will typically apply for a Georgia certificate of authority. Doing so registers the business as a foreign entity and eliminates the need to incorporate a new entity.

Operating without a certificate of authority may result in penalties or fines. In addition to the state’s requirements, licensing agencies, banks, and vendors will often request a certificate of authority.


When do I need a certificate of authority?
The most common reasons for applying for a certificate of authority include:

Opening an office or physical location within the foreign state
Hiring an employee who resides within the state
Before beginning a contract or a job in a new state
A vendor or bank’s requirements
Licensing authority requirements
