I received the attached letter a month after starting an LLC in Arizona asking me for $77.25 to receive a Certificate of Good Standing. After researching on the internet and discussing with my accountant, it was determined to be a scam.

Got an official looking letter that says I need to pay them to get the state of Arizona certificate of good standing. Says I need to mail a check or money order for $77.25.Their address is a UPS Store.

Hello. I am writing to report what I perceive to be a scam. I just applied for an LLC entity (Creative Wellbeing Workshops) in the state of AZ. I received a notice in the mail for a Certificate of Good Standing request form for 77.25 from an organization called the AZ Certificate Service. I’ve attached the letter. They make it look like you would go through them to get a Certificate of Good Standing when I know that this is something that the AZ Corp Commission issues. I called this company to ask them about it and whether they were representing a governmental agency. They said said no, they just expedite the process. Even if they are not a scam, I would like to lodge a complaint against them for presenting themselves as the source of these documents of good standing which they are not. It is only because I have had to get certificates of good standing from another state DC that I know they are issued by a governmental agency that I suspected that this was a misrepresentation. Others who are just going into business and getting their LLC might not realize this and be fooled into thinking they have to pay this organization to get that certificate.
