APPLICATION FOR CERTIFICATE OF AUTHORITY
TO DO BUSINESS IN MISSOURI
Before qualifying to do business in Missouri, you may wish to review Section 355.751, which describes
exemptions from qualification for foreign corporations engaged in certain activities. If you are exempt, you
may still be responsible for filings with other agencies.
Enclosed are forms upon which you may apply for a certificate of authority. In completing the form, the fol-
lowing will assist you:
1. You must use our forms.
2. Forms must be accompanied by a current “Certificate of Good Standing/Existence” (within 60 days) from
the parent state. This must be an original with original seals and signatures. This certificate can normally
be obtained from your Secretary of State or authority which issues corporate charters, for a fee. We do not
require copies of Articles of Incorporation.
3. The filing fee is $25.00. (The check should be made payable to Director of Revenue)
4. By law, the corporation must list a registered agent and the agent’s address in Missouri.
5. The necessary documents should be sent to Secretary of State, Corporation Division, P.O. Box 778,
Jefferson City, MO 65102. For express mailings which require a street address, use 600 West Main,
Jefferson City, MO 65101.
If you have any questions, please contact us toll-free at (866) 223-6535.
Sincerely,
Jason Kander
